Hi I just recently migrated to a Mac with OS X, and one think I am really missing is the package management. Therefore, I am now using homebrew [1] which works nicely - only that the recipe for installing grass from head does not work [2]. I would think that homebrew would be a nice addition to the ways of installing on OS X and it would make using GRASS much easied (all dependencies have a installation recipe, R has one as well, installation of rgdal is painless (from source)).
According to adamv [3] the problem is the following: ,---- | Looking at the source to the new version, it still tries to install | files into /Library, but it now does it in a separate OS X specific | Makefile. `---- Is there any chance that somebody with a mac at hand and interest could take a look at this? It sounds like an easy to solve problem (the homebrew recipes are ruby), but I don't know anything about ruby. Thanks a lot, Rainer Footnotes: [1] http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/ [2] error: ,---- | patching file Makefile | Hunk #1 FAILED at 304. | 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file Makefile.rej | Error: Failure while executing: /usr/bin/patch -f -p1 -i 000-homebrew.diff `---- [3] https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/20665#issuecomment-19846487 -- Rainer M.
