Hi Christoph,

I assume this is a G5 mac, and not a new Intel iMac?  If so, all you 
should have to do is install the developer tools (called XCode now, and 
available on Apple's website), INCLUDING the X11 dev stuff, and run the 
makeall script specifying OSX as the operating system.  The Macs don't 
come with all the compilation stuff outta the box because most Mac users 
don't compile software.  But the beauty of the Macintosh/OSX marriage is 
that if you do want to do that stuff, it's all supported.  Let me know 
if you still have trouble, but it should be pretty easy once all the 
compilers & libraries are installed (which is a simple download and a 
double-click).
