[Proj] Installing Proj on a Mac

[William Kyngesburye]

Do you need unix-style libraries particularly?  I have a complete set  
of binaries for PROJ, GEOS, GDAL and a few others in OSX "framework"  
form. (plus most of the big GIS packages, linked to these frameworks)   
Link in my sig.

On OSX 10.4, I think the default PATH does not have /usr/local/bin,  
and certainly not some custom path in your home folder.  Edit your  
~/.bash_profile and add:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

[Trillian]  What are you supposed to do WITH a maniacally depressed

[Marvin]  You think you have problems?  What are you supposed to do if  
you ARE a maniacally depressed robot?  No, don't try and answer, I'm  
50,000 times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the  
answer...
