Building Rivet isn't 100% turnkey under Mac OS X, but it's getting better
and hopefully it won't be too long until it builds without tweaking.

In the meantime, here's what we do:

Build and install tclsh8.4 and apache from darwinports, plus other stuff
like postgres.  Go get Pgtcl off of gborg.postgresql.org and get it built
and installed.  (If you want to use a SQL database, this is one way to go
about it, and we've had good results with it.)

Run the configure script:

tclsh8.4 ./configure.tcl -prefix /opt/local -with-apxs /opt/local/sbin/apxs -verbose -with-tclconfig /opt/local/lib/tclConfig.sh

It will complain about several undefined variables.

Edit configs.tcl and change

set ::configs::TCL_SHLIB_LD {}

to be

set ::configs::TCL_SHLIB_LD {cc -dynamiclib -undefined suppress -flat_namespace}
