-
- <p>Note that on Red Hat, <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>
- will <span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">not</i></span> be
- automatically started on system boot. You will need to enable that
- using <b class="COMMAND">chkconfig</b>, <b class=

-
- <p>If you have problems with failed dependencies, try rebuilding the
- SRC RPM: <tt class="LITERAL">rpm --rebuild
- privoxy-3.0.19-1.src.rpm</tt>. This will use your locally installed
- libraries and RPM version.</p>
-
- <p>Also note that if you have a <span class=
- "APPLICATION">Junkbuster</span> RPM installed on your system, you
- need to remove it first, because the packages conflict. Otherwise,

- <p>To manually start or stop the privoxy service, use the Privoxy
- Utility for Mac OS X. This application controls the privoxy service
- (e.g. starting and stopping the service as well as uninstalling the
- software).</p>
+ <p>The downloaded file will either be a .pkg (for OS X 10.5 upwards)

+ <p>To manually start or stop the privoxy service, use the scripts

+ <p>To build and install the Privoxy source code on OS X you will need
+ to obtain the macsetup module from the Privoxy Sourceforge CVS
+ repository (refer to Sourceforge help for details of how to set up a
+ CVS client to have read-only access to the repository). This module
+ contains scripts that leverage the usual open-source tools (available
+ as part of Apple's free of charge Xcode distribution or via the usual
+ open-source software package managers for OS X (MacPorts, Homebrew,
+ Fink etc.) to build and then install the privoxy binary and
+ associated files. The macsetup module's README file contains complete
+ instructions for its use.</p>
+
+ <p>The privoxy service will automatically start after a successful
