For OS X packages, I'd look into doing Homebrew. That seems to be the most widely supported Unix/Linux-style binary package manager for OS X. Otherwise, you get into the need to create an OS X ".app" that can be dragged-n-dropped, or a ".pkg" file to be used with Installer.app. > Could you provide me your uname -a output? Sure: % uname -a Darwin frobluxe.local 12.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 12.2.0: Sat Aug 25 00:48:52 PDT 2012; root:xnu-2050.18.24~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 That corresponds to OS X 10.8.2. > Or can you suggest the best way to see if it's OS X? The thing is that OS X is based on Darwin (the open source kernel), but it also adds proprietary GUI code on top of that. See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_%28operating_system%29> for more info. It is possible to run just plain "Darwin" on a non-Apple machine, without all the extra proprietary Apple GUI stuff. However, so long as you don't care if you're running on just Darwin vs. OS X proper, then none of this really matters. -- Brad Knowles <[email protected]> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> _______________________________________________ Assimilation mailing list - Discovery-Driven Monitoring [email protected] http://lists.community.tummy.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/assimilation http://assimmon.org/
