MacOS X
users can either compile the UNIX
source code
(see Compiling from UNIX source)
or install the contributed Asymptote
binary available at
http://www.hmug.org/pub/MacOS_X/X/Applications/Publishing/asymptote/
Because these preconfigured binary distributions have
strict architecture and library dependencies that many installations do
not satisfy, we recommend installing Asymptote
directly from the
official source:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=120000
Note that many MacOS X
(and FreeBSD) systems lack the
GNU readline
library. For full interactive
functionality, GNU readline
version 4.3 or later must
be installed.
