I am trying to run PET on OS X. I downloaded <span class="icon">pet-0.99.12.tar.gz</span> from <a href="http://pet.opendfki.de/">http://pet.opendfki.de/</a>. When I tried to run the configure script I saw the following:<br>
<br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">$ ./configure </span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">checking whether build environment is sane... yes</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">checking for gawk... gawk</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">lkb: unknown Linux kernel version (check `uname -r'); exit.</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<br>The issue is the value returned by 'uname -r'. On OS X it's this<br><br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">$ uname -r</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">8.11.1</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<br>but the relevant switch statement in the configure script only recognizes kernel version numbers of the form 2.4* and 2.6*.<br clear="all"><br>Can anyone suggest workarounds? Has anyone compiled this for OS X? OS X is generally Linux compliant, so it seems like it should be possible to make this work.<br>
<br>Thanks.<br><br>-- <br>Bill McNeill<br><a href="http://staff.washington.edu/billmcn/index.shtml">http://staff.washington.edu/billmcn/index.shtml</a>
