I've spent a few days part-time  trying to build with Xcode 3.25,  and the gnu tools that come with Xcode.    There is a lot to learn, even for someone familiar with gcc, make and shell scripting.     At the moment  it is stopping with a compile error in one of the routines that use BerkeleyDB.   My guess is that the code was written for  bdb 4.4  and I installed BerkeleyDB 5.1.25.  


What I'm really trying to do is get FSL ( http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/index.html ) , a brain imaging data tool set, to run on sge.   I'd rather be a user than a developer. 

I'll wait a month come back to see where the user community is.    If Univa decides not to  provide a courtesy binary for MacOS, I'll pitch in.
