I know that some of you OS X users out there have successfully installed libprs500. I got started, but have bogged down trying to get the required libraries installed and built. Would one of you be kind enough to write a HowTo document that includes things like: Which source of libraries to use (e.g. fink, d/l and build from sourceforge, whatever)? What additional configuration steps did you need to get it all working? Any other tips and tricks?

I'd like to get this thing working (preferably WITH GUI), but I'm currently stuck.
