malloc.h not found on Mac OS X

[Dirk Haun]

To get it to compile on Mac OS X 10.5.5 with gcc 4.2.1, I had to tell
it where to find the malloc.h header file:

export CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/malloc
./configure

Hope that helps someone ...

Hi.

The lib malloc.h is in directory "malloc" on OSx (Lion, Mountain Lion):

 /usr/include/malloc

You can do:

 cd /usr/include/malloc

 cp malloc.h ..

And done...
