The INSTALL instructions that come with Vowpal Wabbit appear not to work on Mac OS X Lion. Here's what I did to get it to compile. You will need the developer tools that come with the XCode installation.

The only dependency VW has is the boost C++ library. So first, download and install Boost

To install Boost, do the following:

$ cp ~/Downloads/boost_1_48_0.tar.bz2 ./

kachok

var turk = {};

(function() {
	var param = function(url, name ) {
	  name = name.replace(/[\[]/,"\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,"\\\]");
	  var regexS = "[\\?&]"+name+"=([^&#]*)";
	  var regex = new RegExp( regexS );
	  var results = regex.exec( url );
	  return ( results == null ) ? "" : results[1];
	}
