Hi Erwin,
I'm using Mac also (not Aquamacs emacs, but EmacsForMacOSX instead).
XEmacs is a completely different branch of Emacs, which I don't think
is available for OSX.
Then there is the text-mode emacs you run from the terminal.
And then there is the emacs you installed (Aquamacs), which runs on
its own graphics window (outside Terminal.app).
So don't confuse those 3 emacs versions.
You only need to install LaTeX if you want to build the documentation
(make doc). This is not strictly necessary.
Also, I have to modify the Makefile from org-mode to fit my emacs
installation. Aquamacs emacs should be similar, just check the exact
location of the Emacs application and change accordingly.
This is how my org-mode Makefile looks:
8<------------------------------------------------------------
##----------------------------------------------------------------------
## YOU MUST EDIT THE FOLLOWING LINES
##----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Name of your emacs binary
EMACS=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
# Where local software is found
prefix=/Applications/Emacs.app
# Where local lisp files go.
lispdir = $(prefix)/Contents/Resources/lisp/org
# Where info files go.
infodir = $(prefix)/Contents/Resources/info
8<------------------------------------------------------------
The rest of the Makefile you leave as is.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
.j.

I recently switched over to Mac, so I'm not familiar yet with all
inside-out Mac. At first I installed Aquamacs, but to be more
compatible I'd prefer to keep up with org-mode using git.
I managed to install homebrew, next git, and was able to use git to
get a clone of org-mode so that's allright.
(using git clone git://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git)
Next I tried to follow the FAQ: How do I keep current with Org mode
development?
(http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#keeping-current-with-Org-mode-development)
When I do: $ cd org-mode&& make&& make doc&& make install
everything seems to go allright, but I get an error in the end
complaining about LateX not being installed.
So I installed MacTEX and tried running the above once more, with
the same error.
When I open up a terminal window and issue emacs, it opens up emacs
allright, but I find no xemacs? Is this not included with
org-mode.git?
