Hello, in case someone is interested, I contributed liblouis port (at version 2.1.1) to MacPorts [1]. So to install liblouis on Mac OS X (having MacPorts installed), now you can just type: sudo port install liblouis The "port" was trivial, since liblouis is portable, has no dependencies and uses the standard configure; make; make install pattern, for which MacPorts has builtin support. Best regards, Boris Dušek Brailcom, o.p.s.
