I myself usually run Linux and am occasionally listening in here as I might get a Mac sometime soon and picking up infos for a friend with a G3 (HD data corruption with Rev 1 and larger new drives... got resolved with new card). Neither me nor my Mac-owning friend have seen an OS X yet, so I'm not sure what exactly comes along. Since it's supposed to be a derivate of FreeBSD and it has a *nix like layer underneath most programs I'm familiar with in Linux should be available. I don't know if gcc is installed by default. You could check if it is by running the command shell or whatever SteveJ called it and type "gcc" -- if it says somethnig about "no such file or directory" you don't have it. If you have it you also might try to grab the sane package: http://www.sane-project.org/ unpack it according to the Readme/Install/doc on the site and try to compile it. If all works out a compilation is about as complicated as typing: ./configure make make install if you get errors, then you need actual knowledge what you do. As sane does support OSX it should work. That leaves getting an X11-server for the graphical frontends. There *is* an Xfree86 for Mac OSX out there, how easy it is to install I don't know. Or try to talk somebody here into compiling it for you (not me unless you give me a Mac first ;-). K.-H. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
