Hi John,
Thank your for the instructions, it works now. FYI, I was only able to
install liblouis but not liblouisutdml. When I tried to install, I got the
following error:
checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package requirements
> (liblouis, libxml-2.0) were not met:

Then I wasn't able to make or make install liblouisutdml. But I did
succefully install and copy liblouis.dylib to BB folder. And when I ran BB
with the new liblous.dylib and the liblouisutml.dylib from the package
downloaded from the website, it finally worked. I've appended the complete
log after the email.
Maybe I have been a normal windows user for too long, and as a result, I'm
not familiar with command line tools and I get used to those "one click
install" mechanisms, I always find setting-up the environment and libraries
hard for me, not just for BB but for all programs that require me doing
so. I hope there could be some scripts that can enhance the robustness in
the installation process. Is the intallers folder supposed to do the
automation? If yes, I'd like to participate in making it come true.
Here's the complete log:

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables
BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS
and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Thanks,
Hanxiao
