Hi I've successfully compiled ciao on a MacBook Pro by making minor changes to the install scripts.

In the file $(CIAO_SRC_DIR)/etc/ciao_get_arch

under the line reading Darwin,"Power Macintosh" ) CIAOARCH=DARWINppc ;; #JFMC

add the line Darwin,"i386" ) CIAOARCH=DARWINi386

Then in the directory $(CIAO_SRC_DIR)/makefile-sysdep

Copy mkf-DARWINppc

To mkf-DARWINi386

Then edit mkf-DARWINi386

Change the line reading ARCHNAME=ppc

To ARCHNAME=i386

Then make install

That's it.

On the first pass the compile couldn't find the mysqlclient dynamic library because I'd installed the standard binary version which doesn't come with the dynamic libraries. But the make script pushed on through and completed the build and installed ciao without mysql support. After downloading the mysql source distribution and making it just to obtain mysqlclient.15.0.0.dylib, the rebuild of ciao went without a hitch.

I haven't tested the system extensively, but I have written a few simple programs and they seem to run fine. One thing I'm having a problem with is persistence using mysql. Can anyone point me to a few example code which illustrates how to use the persistent database interface?
