Re: [smartmontools-support]Install smartctl on Mac OS X

[Bruce A. <ba...@gr...>]

Mark,

I have Mac OS X machines in my collection, but tend to do a lot of work on 
the command line.  We don't have a package installer along the lines of 
the usual Mac OS X standard.

If you are able to tackle a command line install, read the INSTALL file 
and then download a CVS snapshot or the .tar.tz tarball.  The 'make 
install' works correctly on Mac OS X.  But if your computer does not have 
some basic 'computer geek' tools such as compilers installed, this won't 
work.

One thing that might work well is to install FINK 
http://fink.sourceforge.net/index.php?phpLang=en and then get the package 
from there: 
http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/search.php?summary=smartmontools This 
should require nothing other than standard Mac OS X install skills.  But 
the package version available here is 5.33 not the current 5.36 version.

Cheers,
 	Bruce
