[chuck-users] Installing on OSX 10.5.4

[Tom Charles-Edwards]

Thanks for your help, Joel - and Spencer. :)

I think I need some extra software for compiling ChucK - I'll look into it.

I have a more recent Intel Mac laptop, but the thing about the G5 is it has the PCI slots for my MOTU 24io. I would need to get another interface to use ChucK on the laptop. I could pick 
up an eight channel USB MOTU fairly cheaply. 

Cheers,

Tom
