Re: Mac OS X - run from source

Not for nothing,* but I recall having to build apsw and sqlite before BP
would work on my PPC/10.4 laptop.  In both cases, it required an "install"
step at the end.  For apsw, see:
http://initd.org/pub/software/pysqlite/apsw/3.3.13-r1/apsw.html#Building
For sqlite3, I think it is a "./configure make make install" thing.
Bitpim is easy to get running from source on OS X.  Its the dependencies
(apsw, etc...) that are a bear to get going.  Its been a few months since I
have had to do it so my recollection is a bit hazy.  Hope this helps.  If
not, send more questions.

* Why do people always start out something really insulting with "not for
nothing?"  My wife does this all the time.  e.g. "Not for nothing, but you
aren't eighteen any more and you look fat in that shirt."
