I have been interested in taking PicoLisp for a spin, but I've found the friction of installing on OSX a bit much. Do you know of an easier way to use PicoLisp, without re-hacking gcc back into the system?
I have no experience compiling anything on OSX, so I am not sure if I will be very helpful.
Looking at the download page, it looks like the OSX version is 32-bit only: "It should compile and run on 32-bit GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X (Darwin) and Cygwin/Win32 distributions, and on 64-bit GNU/Linux systems." Reading through the INSTALL file seems to confirm this. [0]
A while ago (2013), some one seems to have gotten a 64-bit version up and running on OSX through make emu (don't know what the emulation option exactly is, so I can't say if it is relevant). [1]
