Yes, you need the appliance part from a Linux OS -- the one from the
Fedora binaries we distribute is best.

appliance, not least because Mac OS X cannot[1] be run under
virtualization.

If it doesn't compile now, it will be simply because the code has
bitrotted because we don't regularly build on OS X.
