I've been working on an installation document specific to Mac  
(especially for Fink, which I use for package management). I recently  
did some tweaks to it when I went through what you just went through.  
I also have a shell script I use for updating to the latest CVS and  
building/installing it and a second shell script for replacing the  
dbfawk files which get clobbered every time I do an update.

Here are the installation notes. Someday perhaps they'll get  
integrated into the existing docs.

Shell script (must be in the same directory as the cvs update and  
executed from that directory). I usually use the following command to  
activate it (saves the output to a file as well as putting on the  
screen):

$ ./myupdate.sh | tee myupdate.out

Second script to copy the dbfawk files back:
