I have finished the improvements on lttoolbox and apertium packages to allow its compilation on (at least) Mac OS X "Leopard". The requirements are a full installation of XCode (http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/) and Macports (http://www.macports.org/install.php). Then install with Macports the following packages:


$ sudo port install  autoconf   automake  expat flex gettext gper help2man libiconv libtool libxml2 libxslt m4 ncurses ncursesw p5-locale-gettext pcre perl5.8  pkgconfig zlib

(Some of them are necessary just because Macports wants it)

Then download the source code or the latest packages and do the following with each of them (firstly with lttoolbox, then apertium, then any linguistic data package).

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix /opt/local $ make $ sudo make install
