Good to hear that (CWB being an unavoidable item)! :o)

Mac should be easy -- it's the main development platform nowadays.

Sorry, no specific Mac instructions yet.  But it's much easier than  
Ubuntu:

	1. Install XCode (you might have to sign up for a free ADC member  
ship with Apple in order to download it), which has the C compiler and  
all the other tools needed to build the CWB.
	2. Edit config.mk (in the CWB source code tree) to build for an  
appropriate darwin architecture.
	3. make all; make install

If you'd like to try it, I'll send you a binary distribution of the  
very latest version off list.



Best regards,
