I just installed varnish successfully on my OSX boxen and edited the  
installation instructions[1] accordingly.

it's just two additional steps:

--snip--
1. install `automake`, i.e. via [http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/  
Darwin Ports]: `sudo port install automake` as the version of  
`automake` that ships with OS X is too old.

2. patch the `autogen.sh` file:

{{{
10a11,15
 > if [ -e /opt/local/bin/automake ] ; then
 >       PATH=/opt/local/bin:${PATH}
 >       export PATH
 > fi
 >
30c35
< libtoolize --copy --force
---
 > glibtoolize --copy --force
}}}

''n.b. this assumes you are using the abovementioned [http:// 
darwinports.opendarwin.org/ Darwin Ports]. The key point is to insert  
the path to your newer version of `automake` '''before''' the system  
path in order to 'hide' the old version from `autogen.sh`.''

--snap--


cheers,

tom
