Giles, I installed gst via MacPorts w/o an error message and have run  
both
that version and ones from built from source without issue. I'm using  
10.5.6.

I just ran intmath.st in less than 10 seconds with both the MacPorts  
version
and my built from source version.

Are you on something earlier than 10.5.6?
