Hi, Ben,

Good to hear that there is someone else trying to do
HEP computing on MacOS X.

As a matter of fact, I could also manage to run root on
MacOS X (Public Beta though). I did this about two month
ago, but I could not report it to the list, since I broke
my back and has been hospitalized, being disconnected from
the net. 

Anyway, what I did is summarized in

  http://www-jlc.kek.jp/~fujiik/macosx/memo/index.html

where you can get my versions of patches for root-3.00.2
(again a bit old than yours), cernlib, etc.
Basically all the test programs in the "test" directory
worked after patching some of them. 
I am now using the patched root for physics simulations
and data analysis for beam test data.

By the way, what is the situation with SysV semaphore on
the final MacOS X release? Is it fully supported?

Sincerely yours,
