[GRASS-user] Two questions re 6.4 and OSX 10.4

[Richard Chirgwin]

  William - I'm not getting as far as "make" yet. At configure, it fails:

Unable to locate External PROJ.4 includes.

This, even if I use:
--with-proj=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/Versions/4/Headers/proj_api.h

(I know that PROJ.4 is installed, I'm using 6.4.0-RC4 with no worries!)
