No problem. Thanks for looking into this. Again, the first step here is to get it compiling on a mac. I don't have a mac, so I can't test this, but you are welcome to try. The link you provide above gives a bzipped tar file that contains several patches to get qepcad to compile on a mac. The version they use is actually fairly close to the version we use. There were a couple of bug fixes and some work to get qepcad to work on 64-bit systems. The main change between 1.48 and 1.50, I believe, was the license change that was needed to incorporate qepcad into Sage. Can you compile the package at the link you gave above? If so, it looks like the work may have already been done for us and it's just a matter of including that Mac OSX patch.
