I solved this problem just a few minutes after I post it. Found the prerequisites section on top of http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Potlatch/Development_overview/Installing_and_compiling.
(why do you linux people so often put relevant information for a task in different places?)
As you understand I’m not familiar with Linux or using the terminal in Mac OS X.
Now I have download ming-0.4.0.beta5.tar but can’t figure out how to “build as normal”
./configure, make, make install
Can someone please explain how to use this “build as normal” command?
Been google this but do not get any relevant hits and my trial and error strategy is not working.
