There are some extra hoops one might have to jump through in order to get Zenoss working on OS X. There are mentioned more or less in the INSTALL.txt that's included but it would probably be helpful to address them more specifically.
1. You need MySQL, from experience I suggest to use the dmg package build by MySQL specifically for OS X (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html). I've tried to install via Fink and found the main repository only has MySQL 3 and 4. The unstable repository contains MySQL 5 but there are some issues for Intel Macs. Make sure to set a password for the MySQL root user. 2. You need the OS X Developer Tools installed. These come with the original OS X install CDs 3. After you completed 1 and 2 you can kick off the install.sh script which will then build and install Zenoss on your system. After the installation I highly recommend you scan the zenbuild.log file for any possible errors. If you should experience the error below it is due to a bug in the MySQL dmg package where the mysql_config --libs_r command returns the wrong directory. In order to fix this issue I suggest creating a symbolic link in /usr/local/mysql/lib that is called mysql and points to this directory (ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib mysql).
