There were a handful of problems relating to the OSX platform putting things in different places. Two fairly easy problems: aclocal needed to be told where to find pkg-config libtoolize is installed as glibtoolize And one trickier one. osx ships zlib natively. But it does not ship pkg-config. Some third party pkg-configs do not know about the system libraries. Which means that the check PKG_CHECK_MODULES(ZLIB, zlib) fails. I don't really understand autoconf, but I replaced it with AC_CHECK_LIB(zlib, zlib) and it now works for me. I don't really know autoconf, so I don't know if the way I worked around these is reasonable. But, I attached what I did as git patches. seph
