SuperS, how did the recompilation go?
Install developer tools (req osx install cds shipped with your mac) and give it a go.
[he said that so easily, don't you think

I followed some recompile instructions to install a mustek USB scanner I got from 'cash converters' aka 'crime converters' secondhand chain store for AU$50.
The discussion and tip came from

Tedious the first time but one of the strengths of osx is the unix core. If you have the source code you can compile the program for mac or linux or any unix device.
Thinks -- any nice unix/linux log programs out there?
Hope you have a few days off
