<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thanks Stefan and Andrew,<br>
<br>
Sorry for taking so long to answer. We are traveling around and it
is not always easy to get a connection. <br>
<br>
OK, I followed Stefan's directions and I have been able to move a
step closer. I still have not managed to run cwb-install-mac-osx
because I keep on getting an error message saying that I need the
external Glib2 library. It also tells me that external libraries
seem to be provided by MacPorts. <br>
<br>
When I try to install Glib2 via MacPorts, I get stuck in:<br>

---> Attempting to fetch expat-2.0.1.tar.gz from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/expat">http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/expat</a><br>
<br>
Does anybody know any way to install Glib2 without having to
resort to MacPorts? In fact I really want to get rid of MacPorts
because it has always given me too many problems. <br>

<pre wrap="">OK, I tried to install version 3.4 via Subversion but as you predicted I wasn't able to overwrite my existing installation without using the CWB_LIVE_DANGEROUSLY environment variable. I then tried to follow the instructions in the INSTALL file but I'm a little confused.
My apologies for asking about what must be very basic UNIX stuff but how do I set this environment variable? In the INSTALL file I have the following 3 lines which don't seem to be not a single command.
## sudo echo "export CWB_LIVE_DANGEROUSLY=1 && ./install-scripts/cwb-install-$YOUR_OS" | sudo bash
ifndef CWB_LIVE_DANGEROUSLY
PREFIX=/usr/local/cwb-$(VERSION)
endif
I tried to enter the following command from my terminal:
$sudo echo "export CWB_LIVE_DANGEROUSLY=1 && ./Users/jfontana/cwb/install-scripts/cwb-install-mac-osx" | sudo bash
</pre>

A much easier (and more natural) solution would be to change the line
include $(TOP)/config/site/beta-install
in the file "config.mk" to
include $(TOP)/config/site/standard
and then simply run "sudo ./install-scripts/cwb-install-mac-osx". I suppose that Andrew added the CWB_LIVE_DANGEROUSLY option because he cannot edit config.mk as a developer (changes would be sent back to the Subversion repository), but this isn't a problem for you.

That is strange, because it differs substantially from the command you've shown above:
</pre>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre wrap="">$sudo echo "export CWB_LIVE_DANGEROUSLY=1 && ./Users/jfontana/cwb/install-scripts/cwb-install-mac-osx" | sudo bash
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">
Either use "./install-scripts/cwb-install-mac-osx" or the full path "/Users/jfontana/cwb/install-scripts/cwb-install-mac-osx" (WITHOUT full stop at the start!).
Have you already installed the prerequisite libraries? The install script doesn't do this automatically on Mac OS X. Please take a look at the Mac OS X section in the INSTALL file for some instructions.
Best,
Stefan
