Great news! Install works on mac os if you do
xattr -rc . before doing make install The mail didn't mention that nor is it mentioned in the INSTALL file. I thought this had been fixed. I guess I'm mistaken or this is only an issue for me. Thanks again for getting this out! There's a lot of great stuff in the release.
