Ah yes, that would probably explain your experience. OSX might be UNIX certified, but it differs in radical ways from classic UNIX, like file system hierarchy and installed libraries (how many have something like glib installed system wide?).

It's unfortunate (or is it?) but very much not surprising that a proprietary OS would be a second class citizen in an open source ecosystem, especially when dealing with more strongly libre minded free software people like you can expect in larger numbers for enthusiastic hobby projects.
