It certainly wan't my meaning to recommend one OSX binary over another;
if I recall correctly the poster mentioned they were using 5.7.0 which
is fairly out of date now. This is why I suggested an upgrade, and I 
knew that Lorenzo's GDAL had Jpeg2000 built in and is a nice package.
I didn't know off hand if OpenOSX's version supported Jpeg2000 or not.
Thanks for letting us know it does as I'm all in favour of a diversity 
of options for users. Hope that clarifies things.

Hamish
