     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.

   I just need for a few small projects.  I have my macbook set up to dual
   boot winxp, so I will just stick with that for now.  Do you know how to
   find out who the port maintainer for PCB is in macports?  I could
   probably send him an email to let him/her know that there is a problem.
   Thanks,
   Chris Maness
