	OK, I DL'd the source, and tried to build, following the instructions 
for OS X. Configure seemed to run OK, but make threw a ton of errors 
and quickly exited. Looking at the config.log file, there was some 
normal result lines, but then a lot of problem lines, beginning with:

configure:2570: gcc  -c -g -O2  conftest.c >&5
In file included from configure:2526:
/usr/local/include/stdio.h:65:23: sys/types.h: No such file or directory
/usr/local/include/stdio.h:68:23: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory
/usr/local/include/stdio.h:70:26: machine/ansi.h: No such file or 
directory
In file included from configure:2526:
/usr/local/include/stdio.h:73: error: parse error before "size_t"
/usr/local/include/stdio.h:81: error: parse error before "fpos_t"
/usr/local/include/stdio.h:143: error: parse error before "fpos_t"
/usr/local/include/stdio.h:160: error: parse error before "_offset"

	I ran a quick 'locate stdio.h' as root, and there was no such file on 
my system. I do have the Xcode dev tools installed, if that makes a 
difference.

	Again, apologies for the non-Zopish nature of the questions. If anyone 
can recommend a more appropriate source for help, I would be grateful.
