From your original ticket, I assume you're on osx 10.4. I've updated this
thread's subject accordingly.
You do not need Python, but you have to compile Jackbeat:
- install xcode from:
http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html
- install x11 from:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/x11formacosx.html
- install fink from:
http://www.finkproject.org/download/index.php?phpLang=en
- in a Terminal, use fink to install the svn client and jackbeat's dependencies,
by typing:
$ fink selfupdate
$ fink install svn-client autoconf automake1.9 gtk+2-dev libglade2
libsamplerate0-dev libsndfile1-dev libxml2 pkgconfig portaudio2 liblo0
- download the latest jackbeat svn revision:
$ svn co http://svn.samalyse.com/jackbeat/trunk jackbeat
- compile jackbeat:
$ cd jackbeat
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/sw/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --enable-devmode
$ make
- launch X11 from Applications/Utilities
- run jackbeat, in the Terminal:
$ src/jackbeat
- make music and let me listen to your tracks if you feel like it ;)
If that works for you, you can install jackbeat permanently. Ask me if you can't
figure how to do this.
Note: if you don't want to use X11, then you can alternatively use gtk-macosx
from http://developer.imendio.com/projects/gtk-macosx/, but that's more
complicated and quite long to install.
Hope that helps

You need to get a free apple developer account (see "ADC Member Site" on
http://developer.apple.com/), then after login, look for xcode 2.5 in "developer
tools". That is compatible with tiger.

For the records, I've added some documentation about Mac OS X installation:

Please read http://jackbeat.samalyse.org/wiki/MacInstallation
It's now simpler than before to install Jackbeat on a Mac.
The commands must be typed into a Terminal.app (which you find in the Finder in
Application/Utilities).

Jackbeat can interface with other applications and/or hardware in two ways :
- through JACK you can connect its outputs to the inputs of other JACK enabled
applications. See http://www.jackaudio.org and http://www.jackosx.com/. Also
look at the Jackbeat screenshots for what it looks like on Linux.
- with OSC you can receive and send control commands from/to external
applications and/or hardware. It is similar to Midi, but a bit harder to setup,
although it offers more flexibility. Check http://opensoundcontrol.org
