Sorry to slightly derail this thread but is no-one else irritated at the fact it's \
nearly impossible to get a working KDE on OSX build running without using MacPorts or \
Fink? Until recently (and possibly still is still the case) if you compile on 10.6, \
KDELibs will segfault immediately on startup. MacPorts and Fink have a patch for this \
(and I reluctantly added it to Homebrew) but this hasn't gone upstream (last time I \
checked) so anyone compiling from source will find KDELibs hasn't worked for a while.

It would be good, at some point, to try and do a roll call of KDE on Mac developers \
and see if we can't form more of a team effort to get the platform a bit easier for \
people to get started with. I keep trying to do stuff myself (and for Homebrew) but \
get frustrated and give up for a while.

Thoughts?
