Thanks for going through the effort to try it out! I figured that a proc monitor was doing some kernel leve stuff and wouldn't compile on a foreign kernel, so I didn't even try. By "port... foe the Mac" I meant simply port, not MacPort.

I live two totally isolated lives on my Mac. In my professional life I do everything from a shell. Give me iTerm, ssh, scp, vim, (Gnu) screen, and mysql, and I'm happy. In my personal life I like the ooey GUI benefits of the Mac, for photo and video management, etc.

So, for anyone else out there, I'm still looking for a good "top" app.

If you mean there is no MacPorts port of htop, this is because htop
does not appear to work on Mac OS X. Their web site does not seem to
mention Mac OS X compatibility, and running ./configure says:

configure: error: Cannot find /proc/stat. Make sure you have a Linux-
compatible /proc filesystem mounted. See the file README for help.

And Mac OS X does not have a /proc filesystem.

You could ask the authors of htop if they could make it work on Mac
OS X, but I suspect it would require significant work on their part.

I don't have very high demands on top, so Mac OS X's top suits me
fine. There's also Activity Monitor in /Applications/Utilities which
can be useful and informative.


Maybe we could use ProcFS with MacFuse, and then install htop.
