2.2 MacOS X binary distributions

MacOS X users can either compile the UNIX source code (see section Compiling from UNIX source) or install the contributed Asymptote binary available at

http://www.hmug.org/pub/MacOS_X/X/Applications/Publishing/asymptote/

Because these preconfigured binary distributions have strict architecture and library dependencies that many installations do not satisfy, we recommend installing Asymptote directly from the official source:

Note that many MacOS X (and FreeBSD) systems lack the GNU readline library. For full interactive functionality, GNU readline version 4.3 or later must be installed.
