Is there a guide on how to do the compile with these perl build scripts . I think I will try that first since I only want the front-end . I understand that mac ports tries to build the whole thing ( May resort to this if all else fails ). Please point me to where the guides are (with commands I need to execute) and where the perl scripts and source code for ppc can be found . Being a beginner with Macs I'll need a bit of hand-holding to get me started. Really appreciate your help.

It's ok , panicked too early . The configuration log showed that configure could not find the libs folder . So a quick edit to the .profile to export library_path and all is good .
