Since many people have asked for my MacOSX openDX binaries, I just took the ones I am currently using, rolled a tarball, and posted them. They work for me, which is all I can say for them. I have run all the nets that I had previously used under LinuxPPC and Linux Mandrake PPC, and they all seem to work.

To install, make sure you have a running fink XFree86 install (see http://fink.sourceforge.net), become root,

cd /
tar xzf tarball_name.tar.gz

and then log back out of root.  This will install /sw/dx/...
and /sw/bin/dx
which is the worker script. Then, start XDarwin, and type dx and see what happens.

If this works, great. If not, let me know and I will try to figure out what went wrong. My time is quite limited, and since my copy is working, I do not guarantee extremely fast responses. I will try, though, to help out.

I believe David Thompson (one of the leaders of the openDX project, and a regular on the opendx mailing list, accessible at http://www.vizsolutions.com/dxcd.html or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ) will provide consulting services for a fee which are probably well worth the time if you are in a hurry and want a really well supported install.
