Thanks Nate and Balazs for your suggestions. However the space between
'with' and '-libol' was a mistake in my email only. 

I attempted to build libol, however, and now have an error when checking
host system type.

"checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type:
you must specify one"

Looking at the configure script, line 1249 is calling the config.guess
script to determing the system type. But there is no entry in
config.guess for Mac OS X, so the script does not recognize this system.
I'm going to investigate ammending this script with an entry for OS X.

I'll let the list know how it works out. Thanks.
