Re: [udig-devel] uDig-1.2-RC2 on OS X 10.6 missing GDAL Bindings? Yes... 
Thanks Andrea for this thorough direction.  I got the instruction.

Wierd though that GeoSolution provided an instruction on how to set up ImageIOExt on Mac, but would not provide a Mac binary download:

https://imageio-ext.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=10435&expandFolder=10435&folderID=0

I am working on building this library.  Do you need just the native Mac GDAL library or imageio-ext.jar as well?
