Good.

Oh well. I don't have that platform --- and it requires a fair amount of
tweaking and getting the pieces right because, hey, that's how Apple rolls.

If you can't get that sorted out with all the hints by Simon, the r-sig-mac
list and other OS X users here (as it seems to work fine for some) ---
then I
would suggest to punt and install something like Ubuntu in a virtual
machine.
