Oops, typo on my side - code 2.6 in that version check instead of 2.5 as 
intended.

This means it can not find the data files.  Will add a check for that.
Are you running from the source directory or did you install already?
In this later case you need to check where the data files were installed
(e.g. /usr/local/share/zim) and set the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment
variable to point to that location.

No problem. I'm really interested to hear your results trying to run on 
OS X. Ideally would like to have some procedure how to compile a binary 
package for OS X.

Cheers!
