And this error comes when you try to install the precompiled binaries? (btw; 
X11 is the window system and has nothing to do with the 'uname' 
command, 'uname' is a part of the OS)

Precompiled binaries are only available for Linux based systems as far as I 
know. And if I remember correctly os10 is based on (one of the) BSD variants 
so that would mean that even if you compile the source yourself, the support 
for the USB tablets would still be missing.

Please supply more information about your system and setup if you need 
additional help/information.
