Here are instructions for how to install KST on a Mac, from Rick.  This
was considerably trickier than I'd expected (or was able to do myself!).
We should either pass these instructions on in the documentation or
simplify things somehow.  More and more computer-savvy people are buying
Macs I think, and so it's important that KST isn't hard to install.

1. Make sure the X11SDK is installed (check if /usr/X11R6/include has
X.h).  If it is not installed, run the X11SDK installer from
Applications/Installers.

2. Make sure root user is enabled (try su at a terminal).  If it is not
enabled, run Applications/Utilities/NetInfo.  Select Authenticate from
the Security menu, and enter in an administrator username and password.
Then select Enable Root User from the Security menu.

3. Run Fink Commander and make sure the following is installed:
kdelibs3
kdebase3
libpng3
libart2
libpng-shlibs
svn-client

4. Open a terminal and type:

PATH=$PATH:/sw/bin
export PATH

5. Create an empty directory and checkout revision 409737 of kst:

svn co -r 409737 svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/extragear/graphics

6. Change to the newly created graphics directory and type

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kde-common/admin

7. edit configure.in.in in the graphics directory so that

MINCONFIG(3.3)

says

MINCONFIG(3.1)

8. Type

make -f Makefile.cvs

9. Type

./configure --prefix=/sw --enable-debug --with-qt-
includes=/sw/include/qt --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --x-
includes=/usr/X11R6/include --with-qt-dir=/sw/share/qt3 --with-qt-
libraries=/sw/lib --without-arts

10. Read any errors and install any missing libraries using Fink, then
return to step 9

11. try to compile kst:

cd kst
make

12. Go to step 10

13. install kst:

su
(enter root password)
make install
