this is a 6MB Binary build from fink... which I smacked together  for a Lan we 
had recently, 
people hate to download fink just to play freeciv. Is it of any  interest? What 
I need is testers,
could this archive be added to the download archive?  This asumes you don't 
have fink 
installed, if so it might destroy your fink installation.

I thought this might be a good idea to share, since I have heard about othe 
people who 
where lost about what to download to play freeciv. Now as I said, uptil this 
moment I have 
been present at every install of this so there couldn't be any problems. 

This is taken directly from fink so you will have to move the directory to the 
root, you will 
also need to install X11 from Apple. And then write /sw/bin/civclient, in the 
xterm that 
comes up, to start the client.

Howto install and run freeciv:

1. Installing X11 on MacOSX
   * Pick up "Mac OS X Panther Install Disc 3" CD, go to "/Packages" folder and 
 install 
"X11.pkg" package.  
   * Download from http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/download/ (41.7MB)

2. Installing freeciv
 * extract the archive 
 * use the console to move the directory to / "move ./sw /" 

3. Start X11
4. Type /sw/bin/civclient  form the xterm that shows up.
