• Install dependencies from MacPorts

sudo port install bzr  #lots of dependencies!
# sudo port install rpm  #even more dependencies! unnecessary?

#sudo port install gsl-devel 
sudo port install guile # for scm shell
sudo port install libsdl libsdl_gfx # for embodiment spatial tools
sudo port install xercesc3 lua # needed for embodiment

# required for persistence, but not tested on OSX

Not working

Embodiment needs luabind:

Download luabind from http://sourceforge.net/projects/luabind/files/luabind/0.9/luabind-0.9.tar.gz/download

Then configure/make/make install

Doesn't currently work on OSX?
