That probably makes sense.

This sounds like something that upstream could be contacted about.
Looking back at:
> {{{polymake: ERROR:
"/usr/local/share/polymake/apps/graph/rules/postscript.rules", line 37:
unknown label 'postscript'}}}
This bothers me. Why does it use a system-wide install in
`/usr/local/share` instead of something in `$SAGE_LOCAL`?
I have a hunch that the root of the trouble on OSX may be that the
configure script uses the perl variable `$^O` to check what operating
system Perl was compiled for. It then uses that to make assumptions about
which libraries are available, and where to find them. I wonder what would
happen if only we could just override this `$^O` variable from the command
line (which seems impossible) or when we just patch the `configure.pl`
script to start with setting `$^O` to `linux`.
