Trying to compile RPL/2 on MacOSX

I found an old textbook with some RPL code snippets in it and wanted to give them a try (disclaimer: I never used an HP calc and that language before). Of course, I could be hunting down a used HP 48GX (or HP50G?), but I found this:

http://www.rpl2.net/

And I believe I will be able to execute programs written in RPL, which would be ideal!

So far so good but I can't seem to make it work on MacOSX (big sur 11.5.2). When I do ./configure it says:

Code:

configure: error: Can not find libXinerama !

. Problem: I have installed it with:

Code:

brew install libxinerama

I tried specifying the path directly:

Code:

./configure --with-xinerama=/usr/local/Cellar/libxinerama/1.1.4/lib

But with no success. Has anybody tried to compile RPL/2 on Mac? I don't see any reason why it would not work as it is Unix under the hood after all.

Thanks a lot for your help

If you just want to try RPL and are a Mac iOS user try iHP48. It works well and you should be able to copy and paste your code and run it on a variety of calculators.
