[reportlab-users] Installing on Mac OSX

[Andrea Riciputi]

Hi Aaron,
installing FreeType and PIL from sources scares me a little bit. Both  
of them are quite big packages and I can imagine they also have many  
dependencies in turn. Could you be so kind to give me some more  
details about the procedure?

TIA,
  Andrea
