Thank you, Tobias & Greg. (Also, apologies if this should have been originally 
sent to matterhorn-users!)

First to Tobias' question:

To take an adopter's perspective in reading the docs: Not clear, based on the 
OS X documentation [1], if I was installing as a service. (For comparison, the 
Linux distro docs clearly notes running MH as a service [2].) Is it possible to 
run MH as a service on OS X? Is the language the same for OS X and Linux?

Second, to Greg's offer: 

I've listed below the specific configurations that I had to add to my local 
machine in order to get Matterhorn 1.3 running on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. May be 
worth comparing with additional Mac OS X Lion users for further verification. --

A) Under Prepare, Item 4 Configure environment: the docs refer to .bash_profile 
but I think that MacPorts creates and references .profile .

B) Under Run, Item 1: In creating 

/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.opencastproject.matterhorn.plist

I had to leave the string for DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH empty.

C) Edited /opt/matterhorn/felix/bin/start_matterhorn.sh and added 
'-Dgosh.args=--noi' to the JAVA_OPTS. (As mentioned in previous email)

I hope that this helps!
Brian
