This is really a saga and I have a bone to pick w/Mac or anyone for that matter that writes procedures Now after getting command line tools installed which enabled "make" to work, and downloading & un-taring the c-client, whoa, now ./configure doesn't work... humm oh Apple also pulled out "autoconf", humm.... more downloads and setup just to enable php_imap, which was "PULLED" out of PHP to work as it should. Okay bone to pick w/anyone who writes something that begins, How to Add/Do "ABC".... Title: How to Add "ABC".... Overview: What & why you would might want to do this and why you may have to do this if you need to do "X". Prerequisites: NOT only things you should have, but for a novice, simple yet comprehensive "checks" to verify that those components exist. Don't expect a novice to see a rudimentary command and have a way to check if its there or even question if it is or isn't. What if cp (copy in Mac) were not there or "mkdir"? Would anyone/novice think to check or how to check first, or how to correct? For example on the MacPorts website it says you must have among other things, X11, but there's no suggested check to verify that you do, how would a novice know to check? Also, for experienced folks, a quick check to see if essential components are present and how they're configured/enabled or not. I've seen many experienced techs get to points in a process only to find that things aren't working as they should because of prerequisites. Component name: Click "here" to verify you have this installed/enabled and how to do so if you don't. ........ Bone picking over, you can go back to to regular endeavors.... JeffP...

I think this is the way to go on Mac. On Jul 31, 2012, at 6:34 PM, tamouse mailing lists wrote: > Ugh.
