[Ipe-discuss] install pb , mac osx

[Gijs van Oort]

I'm using a Mac, MacOS X 10.6.4. It seems that iconv is not natively 
included in a mac; I have installed it a while ago by using 'port 
install iconv' (works similar to apt-get).

'port' stores all its stuff in the directory /opt/local:
 > which iconv
/opt/local/bin/iconv

 > find /opt/local | grep iconv | grep -v iconview # we don't want to 
see all *iconview*-files

(... and much more; see attached file for the full output)

I have no experience in compiling IPE, so I cannot help with that. But 
hopefully the information is useful.

Best regards,
