Ok.

Yes, and the bad error message about the Mac page.

That's because I just did `make install` because I couldn't use the spkg-
install.
> 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`.
I have no idea, but you may be right.
