Hi Bert,
I did some further testing because I realized that I had modified my
mac some. However, following the below steps will install the latest
liblouisxml tar ball from http://www.abilitiessoft.com (which no
longer seems to include the Mac directory either). I should have
taken a closer look at Michel's instructions earlier; it would have
clarified things.
NOTE: I am assuming that you already have liblouis installed in /usr
or /usr/local.
1. Download pkg-config from http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/releases/
Uncompress it and switch to the newly created directory. Install it
with ./configure; make; sudo make install. This will install it in /
usr/local by default.
2. Add the following line to your ~/.profile (you can change the
system profile if you prefer):
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig"
This line tells configure where to look for the *.pc files for
installed libraries. You should check to make sure that both of these
directories exist. Both of these directories will be needed because
libxml2 comes installed in /usr/lib, and the liblouis library will by
default install in /usr/local/lib.
3. Download the latest liblouisxml tarball from http://www.abilitiessoft.com
or svn; decompress it; switch to the liblouisxml directory and run
./configure; make; sudo make install
This works on my mac, and so hopefully should work for you. Although
I am still running 10.5 on a PPC, the standard installation shouldn't
have changed that much. Let me know if you run into any problems.
