Hi Justin, Thanks for the quick and detailed reply!
I had used macports for sometime and moved to homebrew<http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/>, which is known as the more "modern" version of macports/darwinports. It takes much less time on installing packages and easier to manage. Actually I want to know if there is any specific version or procedure on installing the dependencies of compiling Neko. It is because it looks a bit weird to me that: - Apache 1.3.x is pretty old and Mac has been bundling Apache 2 - LibZ is also been bundled by Mac, but only with .dylib, not "libz.a" required by the makefile - Carbon should be also bundled by Mac though I'm not sure for this one And I've just tried, the remaining dependencies were successfully installed with homebrew, picked up by the makefile. - brew install mysql - brew install pcre So, the question now is, can neko use the Mac bundled version of LibZ, Carbon and Apache 1.3.x, instead of using different ones?
