OSX does this too --- I've just uploaded LLgen 1.0.3 with a workaround fo=
r
this. I don't know why it's failing; those header files are all in the sa=

directory as LLgen.c, so it should be seeing them. Odd. But hopefully the=
 new
LLgen should help. (I now have the ACK running on OSX.)

Is this the PREFIX in config.pm? Could you post the errors it's producing=
?
Your /tmp directory isn't set non-executable, is it? (The build process w=
ill
try to build and then run helper tools.)

Actually, pmfiles are just Lua scripts --- see www.lua.org. LLgen is a to=
ol
used by the ACK to process grammars; it's very much like yacc or bison. I=
t's
not used by pm at all.
