Re: hey hampa here is an un awnsered question
download the source version (not binary, or pre-compiled).
Then you need to extract everything. Open up terminal and go to where you extracted it all (try using cd /home/<username>/Desktop/<folder-name> )
Then, just run the following commands:
./configure
make
make install
I am not a mac user myself, so this could be slightly wrong. I am sure someone will be able to do better instructions than me!
