I assume you mean CLOCK_MONOTONIC -- it is clock source that ensures
that it is, well, monotonic (i.e. resistent to leap seconds, changing hw
clock etc).

I don't know what works on leopard, try man clock_gettime.

In the worst case, you could just return 0 and warn, it is not critical
part of yade, but used for profiling (timing.stats() &comp, see
http://yade.wikia.com/wiki/Speed_profiling_using_TimingInfo_and_TimingDeltas_classes) which would give bogus results at apple. Oh well. Who is interested in those overpriced machines for running yade seriously?
