note.. i could not add the link to the title here, it looks like this site is banned by b2evolution.. just google for “install macleo”..

it took m a bit to figure it out, but DUH..

i finally got leo (a literate programming tool) to run on OSX…

keep in mind that the install info asks you to install the file and a script as such:

!/bin/sh

$2 only works if .leo is one of the extensions.

/usr/bin/pythonw ~/leo/src/leo.py $2

but make sure you chmod+x the file that you write, otherwise platypus will let you make the file, but it will not run MacLeo, nor will it tell you why it just craps out. the deal is, it has no +x privs.

chmod+x the file, and you are good to go.

one thing that i thought was interesting about the whole thing is that the mac version of leo was pretty much that hardest one to install..

i hope it’s worth it…
