You can compile the examples and try them out. However I will tell you
right now it won't work unless you the modules statically linked in as
well which is a royal pain in the but. The manual tells you what needs to
be done but it hardly every works correctly. In order to get it to work
on MacOS X you will
1) Get libltdl (portable dlopen wrapper) working on MacOS (may already
work).
2) Get C++ support for libtool.
It is basically the same issue as for Windows but might be easier
considering MacOS X is more POSIX like.
