Thanks to James' tip with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I just managed to compile a working version as well. I have MacPorts installed and no Fink. I edited the configure script and at around line 17875 there's a code block that looks like this: Code: case $build_os in cygwin*|mingw32*) LDPATH="PATH=\"\$(TOOLSDIR)/libs/wine:\$\$PATH\"" ;; darwin*|macosx*) ;; linux*|solaris*) if test -z "$LDRPATH_LOCAL" then LDPATH="LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\"\$(TOOLSDIR)/libs/wine:\$\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH\"" fi ;; *) LDPATH="LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\"\$(TOOLSDIR)/libs/wine:\$\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH\"" ;; esac I commented out the darin / macosx line like this: Code: #darwin*|macosx*) # ;; Then from the command line I exported the paths to my libs like this: Code: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11/lib And then did the usual stuff: Code: ./configure make depend make
