Hi,
Binary posted now. Get it at:
http://www.crosswire.org/~dglassey/macosx/bibletime.dmg

18MB or so and includes libsword and a version of libcurl that doesn't
cause BibleTime to crash.

Regards,
Daniel

P.S. You need to do what is on
http://ranger.befunk.com/phpwiki/index.php/Configure%20KDE to get it to
work right.

P.P.S. The libraries are large debug ones so don't be surprised if it
takes a _long_ time to load (like 60s or so - about double the time of
it on linux on a similar specced machine).

P.P.S It is expected that most menu shortcuts don't work yet - that is a
KDE/Mac bug.
