[PD-dev] plugin~ for osx help?

[james tittle]

heya,

...after seeing this mentioned, I decided to try and compile the cvs 
plugin~(can't believe it never crossed my radar before)...unfortunately 
I'm stuck in the configure stage:  don't really know much about these 
wacky build systems, so I'm open to guidance :-)  Here's my output thus 
far:

tiggity:~/puredataDev/externals/plugin~ tigital$ ./configure 
--with-pddir=$HOME/puredataDev/Pd
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... found
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake... found
checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... found
checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; 
you must specify one
tiggity:~/puredataDev/externals/plugin~ tigital$

...where to go next?  Btw, ladspa and ladspa-cmt are available via 
fink...
