[OS X TeX] Installing RTF2LaTeX2e

[André Bellaïche]

Installing RTF2LaTeX2e (message #3)

I. TRYING THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNIX USERS (suggested by the fact that  
Mac instructions are only for MacOS9)
************************************************************************ 
******************************************************
UNIX:
-----
Unix users need to build the binary using make. Super-user mode may be
necessary for install.To start building rtf2latex2e,
change to the Unix directory directory, type:

./configure
make
make install (optional, as root)

The default install directory is /usr/local/rtf2latex2e.
The binary is called rtf2latex2e.bin.
A symbolic link /usr/bin/rtf2latex2e pointing to the binary is created.
You can change the directory into which rtf2latex2e is installed by  
editing the
variable INSTALL_DIR at the top of the Makefile. You may need to become
super-user to install into that directory. If you do not have super-user
privileges, you can change the INSTALL_DIR to somewhere in your home  
directory,
say $(HOME)/rtf2latex2e.

*****************************************************
*********************IMPORTANT***********************
MAKE SURE THE INSTALL_DIR PATH ENDS in rtf2latex2e!!!
************************************************************************ 
**********************************

"./configure" works, but
"make" yields the following errors. Indeed, "unix.mac.h" and "Main.h"  
do not exist in "/usr/local/rtf2latex2esrc/include/"

II. OTHER METHOD.
**********************

The distribution contains a file named "rtflatex2e.bin". Why not take  
advantage of it ? Where should I put it ? Or, how can I make a alias  
pointing to it, and where should I put the alias ?

However, the Mac (OS9) Installation instructions say that the "pref"  
folder has to be in the same folder as the rtf2latex2e application.  
Is this still true for MacOSX/Unix?

Thanks for any help.
