[tahoe-dev] Trouble compiling on OSX

I have added tahoe-lafs to pkgsrc, which runs on macs, and have
successfully built it on 10.6.   But, each dependency is packaged, and
using the download/install autodep resolution feature is avoided.

One thing to be careful about (which at least pkgsrc does for you) is
the i386 vs amd64 ABIs.  OSX 10.6 is a curious mix where many things are
amd64 code.  But 'uname -a' reports i386, or something confused like
that.  For reasons I don't quite recall, pkgsrc chooses to build
everything for i386 (with -m32 to gcc), to avoid instruction set
confusion.  This is probably not your problem, but could be related.
