As stated in this post the nethack package does not work on MacOS X 10.2 "Jaguar". Will this be fixed sometime? Because I would really like to play it, but I'm not savvy enough to compile it myself. [img]images/icons/wink.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Thanks for an otherwise great site!

get the source here, uncompress it as per directions on that page and follow the directions in Install.unx in sys/unix-directory... if all goes well, you should have a working nethack in your terminal after it... trying it out right now!

works just the way it should... although you might want to change the following in src/Makefile:
# libraries for tty ports
WINTTYLIB = -ltermcap
# WINTTYLIB = -lcurses
# WINTTYLIB = -lcurses16
# WINTTYLIB = -lncurses
# WINTTYLIB = -ltermlib

it's normally set for -ltermlib, but that caused errors...
