[CWB] Character encoding problems when transferring corpus

[Josep M. Fontana]

Thanks Stefan and Andrew,

Sorry for taking so long to answer. We are traveling around and it is 
not always easy to get a connection.

OK, I followed Stefan's directions and I have been able to move a step 
closer. I still have not managed to run cwb-install-mac-osx because I 
keep on getting an error message saying that I need the external Glib2 
library. It also tells me that external libraries seem to be provided by 
MacPorts.

When I try to install Glib2 via MacPorts, I get stuck in:

--->  Attempting to fetch expat-2.0.1.tar.gz from 
http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/expat

Does anybody know any way to install Glib2 without having to resort to 
MacPorts? In fact I really want to get rid of MacPorts because it has 
always given me too many problems.
