OSX 10.6.4 Snow Leopard
Installing Exodus on Mac is almost identical to installing on Linux.
This install was performed on OSX 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard) on Macbook Pro
Installing dependencies
Installing C++ compiler
Insert mac osx install disk Open optional utilities folder Open xcode Follow instructions
The XCODE package includes subversion
Installing Postgres
This is Postgres 9.0.1 but you can use any version back to 8.1.0
http://www.postgresql.org/download/macosx

https://www.enterprisedb.com/getfile.jsp?fileid=1517
Once downloaded, just do a standard install and remember the admin user password.
Installing Boost
Minimum required is boost 1_33. Here we install 1.44 using "Macports".
---
Optionally get ICU to fully support unicode in boost regex. How to do this on Mac OSX is unknown at the moment.
- http://www.macports.org/install.php
- http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-1.9.1-10.6-SnowLeopard.dmg
At the console command prompt
sudo port -v selfupdate sudo port install boost
It takes at least an hour!
Building and Installing exodus
Download Exodus tar.gz
http://code.google.com/p/exodusdb/downloads/detail?name=exodus-10.10.tar.gz
Move it to your home directory then ...
cd ~ tar xvfz exodus-10.10.tar.gz cd exodus-10.10
Ensure postgres can be found (change 9.0 to your version!) and check pg_config can run
PATH=/Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin/:$PATH pg_config
./configure make sudo make install
After exodus is installed, to setup postgres do the following.
configexodus
To get an exodus console (sets the right environment variables)
