No, not on Mac OS X :-(

The --enable-shared --enable-dl options won't work on OS X. The current 
work-around is to edit config.h _after_ configuring (w/o 
--enable-shared --enable-dl options) so that the line: /* #undef 
HAVE_DYLD_API */ instead reads: #define HAVE_DYLD_API 1

This will (should) let you build and run .oct files.
