I've just installed it on 10.1.5 without any difficulty. cgi scripts and libs in cgi-bin, /images, /docs and styles.css in a subdirectory of the web root, follow the admirably clear installation instructions and it worked right away.
but that's almost certainly because i develop similar applications and therefore had Imagemagick and mysql and most of the other requirements already installed. i only needed to add SOAP::Lite and HTML::Template. i don't think i'd like installing it from scratch much. A lot of it would be straightforward, but i remember compiling Imagemagick on osx was even more horrible than usual. people would probably end up with fink and most of a complete X11 installation just to get a blog going. interestingly, it seems to contain a hitherto unknown (to me) poop engine, more readable than Class::DBI but - i think - probably too focused on the task at hand to be all that much use elsewhere. best will On Saturday, August 3, 2002, at 07:19 PM, Scott Anguish wrote: > > On Tuesday, July 30, 2002, at 10:22 AM, Morbus Iff wrote: > >>> Has anyone attempted to install this on Mac OS X 10.1 or later? >>> http://www.movabletype.org >> >> Yup, it's possible.
