Looking at this url:

I see that somebody is compiling Parrot (current cvs) on Mac OS X 10.1. 
I am running 10.1.2 Server, with Apple's second patch. This is the most 
recent flavor of OS X. I'm kind of distressed to see:

        $c{ccflags} .= " -I/sw/include";
        $c{ldflags} .= " -L/sw/lib ";

in the hints/darwin.pl file given that such directories do not exist on 
any darwin machines (I've actually got quite a few) I have ever seen. 
I've got time and a lot of extra hardware. I'd like to see Parrot happy 
on darwin. Jarkko had some problems getting Perl 5.7.2 working on the 
same machine I'd like to get parrot built on, but tells me that 5.7.3 
will be better. This leads me to believe one of two things:

        OS X Server is sufficiently different from the 'Client' version
        OS X 10.1.2 is sufficiently different from 10.1.[01]

I did manage to get parrot built happily on OpenBSD 3.0/i386, but that 
machine is just hideously slow -- it would be nice to have parrot on my 
Mac.

Oh, and hello. I'm alex, I joined the list today, and I've been playing 
with POE a lot, and like what I see of Parrot.

Thanks,
alex
