[Plib-users] (newbie) Problems with installing PLIB on a Macintosh.

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hello.

I am a rookie programmer, and new to both UNIX and PLIB. I've seen several 
free, cross-platform, hardware accelerated game development libraries, and 
PLIB seems to be the best, as it is written in C++ and doesn't require 
dozens of other libraries to be installed already.

When I tried, following the instructions on the page 
http://plib.sourceforge.net/download.html, to install the API on my MacMini 
G4 SuperDrive with MacOS X 10.4 and the bundled XCode Tools, everything 
seemed fine at first. I ran "./configure", getting this result:

But when I tried running "sudo make install" ("sudo" to become the root, as 
told in "http://plib.sourceforge.net/download.html"), I got the following:

------------------------------------------------------------------

As I said, I am a newbie, so it might be that I have done something wrong 
(other than what lines 2-3 say!), but the debug text following my call to 
"sudo make install" doesn't tell me much. I already wrote to Steve J. Baker 
(before finding out about this place), but he merely told me to write here.
Hopefully, someone more familiar with the system could help me with this 
(please!).
