Disclaimer: I've no clue about Macs. Other than that they have a nibbled
apple on their cover.

Looking at your screenshot (wow, 1.1 MByte to transmit a few bytes
worth of information!) your problem seems to show when you run "make"
during your installation. And it shows when building the manual. So I'd
try to disable the manual (--disable-pdfmanual) and see if Rivet runs.
If yes, open a bottle of champagne. Otherwise I can just hope that some
other Mac user speaks up (James?), because I won't be able to help.

Cheers,

   Hendrik
