Ok, the main thing I figure would need explaining, is installing libusb; for that, I needed to install OSX Command Line tools. after that, using information from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3...sb-on-mac-os-x to setup and install “Homebrew” for Mac OSX, I managed to get LibUSB installed. From then on it was following your instructions for the most part.

My Macbook’s info:

MacBook Pro (Early 2013 Model) w/ Retina Display
Yosemite 10.10.2

I know this thread is old [super old], but it still contains info that pertained to my situation, and I felt the neeed to (hopefully) help the perhaps 1 or 2 other 1150 users, that happen to also have macs haha.

EDIT1: ok, got my first thing transferred across, lol... only took another 45 minutes or so of screwing around.
First off, I disabled asking for password on sudo; this is extremely dangerous, if you are technically suicical lol, then research it, as it's simple enough, but like I said, very dangerous.
Now, that being said... the bigger issue:
It kept saying "connection refused", I couldn't figure what was wrong; then it hit me... I did NOT "cd /Users/bobdole/Desktop/linreb-0.2/" THEN run linreb, I simply attempted to run

Code:

/Users/bobdole/Desktop/linreb-0.2/linreb

willy nilly (I'm by no means a *nix genius lol, I haven't the slightest idea what to call it), rather then changing to the linreb directory, THEN running linreb.
Doing that and THEN running

Code:

./linreb

fixed everything.

watch, seeing as how I simply downloaded the sample ebook to my 1150, and didn't open it, something crazy'll happen in the meantime haha... let me check...

Nope, worked great and again, hope this'll either help someone, or ... someone'll point out something I neglected to mention lol, and I can help them.
