[Nmf-user] [ANN] NMF version 0.9 pre-release - install error

[Renaud]

Hi Gordon,

indeed.
I forgot to mention that the package is not available for Mac, but this is
only because I have no access to a Mac and there is no Mac-builder that I
am aware of.
If would be nice if someone could build Mac version(s) from the package
source though. I could add them to the repository.
Thank you.

Bests,
Renaud.

PS: Gordon, please subscribe to the mailing list so that you messages can
