Dear MacRooters

I have just tried to compile root on MacOSX:
% tar zxvf root_v3.03.03.source.tar.gz
% cd root
% ./configure maxosx --enable-star --disable-cern \
--disable-mysql --disable-pgsql --disable-pythia --disable-pythia6 
--disable-rfio \
--disable-srp
% make
and received the following error:
cc -O -pipe -W -Wall -fsigned-char -fno-common -DG__REGEXP -DG__UNIX 
-DG__SHAREDLIB -DG__ROOT -DG__REDIRECTIO -DG__OSFDLL -Iinclude  -o 
cint/src/shl.o -c cint/src/shl.c
cint/src/shl.c:37: header file 'dlfcn.h' not found
cpp-precomp: warning: errors during smart preprocessing, retrying in 
basic mode
make: *** [cint/src/shl.o] Error 1

Does this mean that root cannot be compiled out of the box, when only the
Developer Tools are installed?

Do I still need to follow Keisuke Fujii´s HEP on X page, which is already
one year old? Did something change meanwhile?

I have just found that people have started to port libs and apps to MacOSX,
see: http://macosx.forked.net/
Is it already possible to compile root under OSX when downloading the 
necessary
libraries?

Thank you in advance
Best regards
Christian
