Either that or it can't find it in one of the directories that it lists in path. </p> <p>You can verify if you have make just by typing 'make -v' in a Terminal. </p> http://superuser.com/questions/67483/cant-install-mercurial-on-mac-os-x/67485#67485 0 Answer by David Thornley for Can't install mercurial on Mac OS X David Thornley http://superuser.com/users/6830 2009-11-06T21:21:59Z 2009-11-08T14:08:10Z <p>Is this compiling from source or installing one of the handy Leopard and Snow Leopard binaries?</p> <p>Moreover, have you installed the Mac development kit?

Since MacPorts builds its ports from source (at least mine does, and yours seems to also), you'll also need to install the Mac OS X developer tools. You can do this by finding your Mac OS X install disc and <a href="http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/XcodeCoexistence/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/Basics/Basics.html" rel="nofollow">installing Xcode from it</a>.</p> http://superuser.com/questions/67483/cant-install-mercurial-on-mac-os-x/86276#86276 1 Answer by Martin Geisler for Can't install mercurial on Mac OS X Martin Geisler http://superuser.com/users/22077 2009-12-21T23:03:43Z 2009-12-21T23:03:43Z <p>(I'm not using Mac myself, but I've seen these support requests before...)</p> <p>Please try one of our <a href="http://mercurial.berkwood.com/" rel="nofollow">binary packages for Mac OS X</a>. Normal users should not be bothered with installing compilers and make just to use Mercurial...</p> <p>Also, <code>easy_install</code> route is anything but easy unless you have a compiler and the required Python header files installed since <code>easy_install</code> will want to compile the C extensions we use. Better to stick with a binary package, IMHO.</p>
