Re: [Kqlives-main] Compiling KQ for Snow Leopard

[Steven F. <onl...@us...>]

As a follow-up: I was able to compile fine, but when I tried to run it, I
get "Could not parse global.lob" (and then another blank message right
behind it). And then KQ closes. So I'm going to continue investigating this
after work, but if anyone has any suggestions, let me know.

I removed the "--prefix=/opt/local" from the "./configure" options as well,
and made a clean build, but get the same thing.  Hrm.
