Compiling Ice v3.4.0 on OSX/Snow Leopard

I am trying to compile and install Ice on OSX and am getting this error:

Is there something I may do to get this compiled and installed on OSX? I am specifically hoping for the IceRuby support.

Hi Jason,

It appears that you have not installed MCPP, which is the C preprocessor library used by our Slice compilers. You can download an archive of Ice's third-party dependencies here. The README file in this archive provides build instructions, and don't forget to apply the MCPP patch.

Note that we don't support Ice for Ruby on Mac OS X.

Regards,
Mark

I had done a 'sudo port install mcpp', but it seems not to like that one. Will try a manual install.
