</div>On a Mac you should be able to get dependencies such as libfftw3 and cmake<br>
etc via Macports and/or Fink. And you might need to install different<br>
versions of software you already have, via these systems (where the version<br>
bundled with OS X is old else just weird). Multiple versions of stuff can<br>
generally live side-by-side -- you just have to be careful setting<br>
environment variables such as $PATH. E.g. when building stuff that was<br>
developed on say Linux you might have to configure your paths to binaries<br>
and libraries etc such that the locations installed to by Macports/Fink get<br>
searched first, before the OS X system directories.<br>
<br>
Alternatively, you could replace OS X with Linux, and everything becomes a<br>
lot simpler.<br>
<br>
