Re:



Thanks for your response. I was finally able to install it with below steps and also the work around. The mkinstalldir script does not work directories with space which is common on Mac for e.g. /Library/Application\ Support/.... To work around this I ran the installed commands manually by looking up in the configuration.log file.

cd /Users/rgouda/utils/emacs-w3m-1.4.4
alias emacs='open -a /Applications/Aquamacs\ Emacs.app'
export EMACS="/Applications/Aquamacs\ Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs\ Emacs"
./configure --prefix="/Library/Application Support/Aquamacs\ Emacs"
make
sudo make install
Create info and w3m directories and run  failed install commands manually as logged in configuration.log 


On Mac please also make sure the w3m and gc.h is also installed for the above to work.

Thanks,
Gouda
