OK, If you have the developer tools installed then you'll also need:

dlcompat - to allow dynamic linking
libz - for compressed traces
libxml2 - for .sav file loading
X11 - from Apple, GTKWave isn't yet Quartz native as GTK+ isn't.
Glib 1.2.x, GTK+ 1.2.x - for the graphics

You'll probably be able to find all these things (apart from X11,
which can obviously be downloaded from apple.com) from fink or
you can build them from source (which is a little harder).

To build GTKWave, just unpack the tar.gz, cd into the gtkwave
directory, run `configure' with appropriate options (read the
file README or use `configure --help'), run `make' and then
(prob. as a more privileged user) run `make install'

Couldn't be simpler ... well, it could be quite a lot simpler
actually, but the build method is perfectly normal for an
automake/autoconfed program.
