Hi, guys.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the interest in 4Suite. However, I'd like to defer your question to python's distutils SIG. 4Suite uses distutils to build its C code, and install itself. I do try to follow the distutils list (though I sometimes fall behind), and I think I remember someone saying they did some work to get some things to compile on the Mac (thoug not 4Suite). I'm hoping they pop up and give you some help. Unfortuatly I haven't used a Mac since the Mac plus line so I won't be too much help.

I've been looking for a quick way to get XSLT processing for the Mac, and thought that 4Suite might be the fastest way to go. I see, however, that installation isn't straightforward for me. :/

If we assume that I can compile the bits written in C, then what, theoretically, has to change in setup.py so that installation would be flawless.

Pls. note: I'm new at programming, but am willing to learn. I've downloaded Apple's MPW kit (contains a free C compiler), but don't know how to use it... yet.

OTOH, if you know of some other XSLT software for the Mac that would have a lower barrier to use, I would appreciate some leads...

thx, Robert Hahn
