[vpn-help] OSX Mountain Lion

[Harondel J. Sibble]

I am little confused with the OSX requirements.

I see this post for Matthew

https://lists.shrew.net/pipermail/vpn-help/2013-April/014278.html

which says QT is built in, however on a 10.6 machine installing the test 
version noted, just crashes when run.

Also this link doesn't seem to work

http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-4.7.1.dmg

nor does anything at http://get.qt.nokia.com

Is the Tun/Tap driver required?  Installing it on the same 10.6 machine does 
not stop Shrew from crashing. I'll try again on a 10.7 machine I have at hand 
shortly.
