Testing and Max OS X is appreciated. It would be better to start with the latest. A quick google suggests that xz should be easy to get for MacOSX, in any case for convenience I've made it available at: http://www.pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-8.21.tar.gz which was generated using: rel=8.21 wget -O- http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-$rel.tar.xz | xz -dc | gzip -9 > coreutils-$rel.tar.gz gpg --sign -ab -o coreutils-$rel.tar.gz.sig coreutils-$rel.tar.gz thanks, Pádraig.
