Hi Tom Cato and Alice,

Incrementally good news on the Mac front: First, David Baumgold (aka 
singingwolfboy) picked up my slack and updated the MacPorts port of 
solfege to 3.19.2. Second, more recent versions of Xcode update through 
Software Update, so the downloads aren't quite as huge and don't require 
signing up for anything. People with older versions (I'm not sure what 
the turning point is) might still have to download the 1GB file, but as 
the months go by I think that will be necessary for fewer and fewer people.

So, to Alice, if you're still reading the list: I recommend following 
the instructions here: 
http://www.solfege.org/Solfege/SolfegeViaMacPorts. Let me know if there 
are specific parts of those instructions that are confusing or that 
don't work for you. I'm not an expert, but I will help if I can.

And to Tom Cato: My apologies for being absent from the Solfege world. I 
saw at least one e-mail come through the list a few months back asking 
for MacPorts troubleshooting. I should have written back to say I didn't 
know how to help... but instead I told myself that I would get help from 
the MacPorts people and then get back to the list with an answer. And I 
never did it. I'll try to be more involved with future Mac questions. 
And perhaps David will be able to help with trickier troubleshooting; 
he's much more knowledgeable about MacPorts than I am.

--Allen
