[Ipe-discuss] ipe dev for OS X 10.11 ?

[Michael Thon]

You have several options:

1. Use the provided ipe binary, which is an app bundle that you can copy anywhere you like (usually into /Applications or ~/Applications).
2. Compile ipe yourself. For this, you need to set IPEPREFIX to where you wish to install ipe. Set it to whatever you like, e.g., ~/local.
3. Use the MacPorts version (some dependencies might not yet work for 10.11). This installs ipe into the MacPorts location you chose, usually /opt/local but this can also be anything you like.

Where did you get the idea that writing into /usr is a requirement for ipe? In fact, installing anything into /usr (even /usr/local) has been considered a bad idea for quite some time, so it makes a lot of sense that OSX now prevents this.

Cheers,
Michael
