[BRLTTY] brltty in terminal on snow leopard

[Cheryl Ann Homiak]

Hi all.

I am having problems getting brltty set up on snow leopard although I 
believe I did have it running on snow leopard (macosx10.6) at one time.

First, I had to change my path to NOT put Macports (/opt/local) first in 
order to get brltty to configure. I posted about this back in June and 
neither I or anybody else figured out what i might be missing in Macports 
that made it necessary to change my path back but that was no real 
problem. I also find that I have to disable api in configuring but this 
also isn't an issue for me.

My big problem is that when I try to run screen-4.0.1 I'm told that I need 
Rosetta to run this which seems rather strange since I ran it on this 
Intel machine in 10.5. Since I had problems compiling screen back in 2007 
I've been using the version I compiled in Tiger. I just tried to recompile 
screen again in Snow Leopard in hopes that it wouldn't claim to need 
Rosetta but I got the same error I got back in 2007 (see below). I suppose 
I could install Rosetta and see if screen then works but I don't really 
want to do that unlesss it's absolutely necessary. Nobody was able to 
figure out why screen wouldn't compile for me back in 2007 but here's the 
result of the make attempt just in case somebody has a new idea.
