Well, I meant that the latest gdcmac wouldn't run out of the box on Mac 
OS X Leopard. You have to include manually the standard library path 
and the linker doesn't work very well for PowerPC (Apple's fault, I 
know, but still one more thing to figure out and fix). Perhaps 
showstopper was a little harsh; basically, it doesn't "just work" as it 
should, there are still a couple of problems to figure out and solve 
before it works.

Yeah, I know now. I think I've been following the wrong instructions. 
ylixir made me realize that.
