I didn't really intend for alpha to run on Mac OS X, but if you got the
dependencies and can get it to configure I am confident that it is
it _might_ work. An older version worked on Mac OS X.
(After we ported libst to it!)

Ok, lets see. It seems sourceforge has has MAC OS X...

Alright, I have done a bunch of small changes---try the cvs HEAD version of
lurker. Note that there are also new options:
	--with-db3dir
	--with-db3name
	--with-stdir
	--with-cclientdir
and pkg-config is no longer required. Of course, these options are optional.

(I know you managed to get the depends to work without these options, but I
couldn't since I don't have root on sourceforge)

As for the bug below, I believe I have fixed it.

To get the newest cvs:

cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/lurker login
Password: <enter nothing>
cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/lurker co lurker

Wow! I had to use:

./configure \
	--with-stdir=3D/home/users/t/te/terpstra/libs \
	--with-db3dir=3D/sw \
	--with-cclientdir=3D/home/users/t/te/terpstra/libs \
	XSLT_CONFIG=3D/home/users/t/te/terpstra/libs/xslt-config \
	--with-libiconv-prefix=3D/sw \
	--prefix=3D/home/users/t/te/terpstra/runtime \
	--with-urldir=3D/~lurker \
	--with-wwwdir=3D/home/users/t/te/terpstra/public_html

PS: Is /Library/WebServer really the same as /lurker? Are you sure it
shouldn't be /Library/Webserver/lurker?

I have the same problem now on the sourceforge system.
Ok, I have tracked it down to this change (in autoconf 2.53!):

diff -r1.32 configure
1390c1390
< am_aux_dir=`CDPATH=:; cd $ac_aux_dir && pwd`
---
> am_aux_dir=`cd $ac_aux_dir && pwd`

Somehow this winds up in the substituion rule and breaks configure.
I suppose I should probably report this to the autoconf people...

I have manually tweaked my system files, updated configure and committed it.
Whew! That was a pain to track. :-)

Good luck! (The INSTALL file has been updated)
