For gEDA - perhaps.

For GTK - I wouldn't, as there are a lot of dependencies to get right. I
don't have a Mac, so can't really advise much here.

I guess the first thing to find out is what version of GTK you have
ended up with, and whether it is a native or X11 build.

PS. I'm not sure the geda-* lists accept CC'd posts. Best to put the
list as To, and CC anyone else.


Best wishes,

Peter C.
