Several months ago I gave up trying to pybliographer to work with fink 
(an open source repository) on OS X 10.3. The problems seemed to stem 
from the shared library namespace for the Python that ships with OS X. 
A few days ago I tried with a fresh slate and I'm happy to report 
success. But it wasn't easy: a huge number of packages needed to 
compiled from fink (the binaries are too out of date) including python, 
gnome-python, etc. Additionally the well-described recode patches for 
3.6 are necessary. But the bottom line is it works and despite all the 
problems is worth it. The only Bibtex alternatives for OS X are: 
Bibdesk, which is very slick and OS X native (but buggy, slow, and 
doesn't deal with Medline very well), and the Java JabRef, which 
doesn't have full Medline search capabilities.

One question I have is if anyone out there is working a more 
cross-platform solution that isn't so Gnome dependent (perhaps 
wxwindows or QT). Then I could have a nice native looking app without 
running an X server and compiling and installing hundreds of extra 
packages. Depending how it was done such a program could also be used 
in Windoze.


Anyways, thanks for a great program!
