hi, you were right. MacBook 5,1 uses EFI 64 bit .

I compiled the latest SVN inside a Debian amd64 system, using
 ./configure --with-pla./configure --with-platform=efi --target=tform=efi --target=amd64
and it worked.

Also, the problem compiling SVN disappeared after I wiped out the whole tree and 'svn co' again.

thanks, a.

The 1.96 release is over one year old. Don't use it.
Why can't you compile the SVN version?
Maybe you're trying to load a 32bit version with 64bit EFI or vice versa.

sorry, the bug got posted before it was ready. Here is a correct one.

I own a MacBook, a new model

I tried to follow the instructions in
http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnMacbook
and
http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnEFI
using GRUB2 1.96 and rEFIt

but  always rEFIt fails to load grub-efi, with error
   Unsupported while loading grub.efi

This problem was already reported , e.g. in
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=995704&page=3

I wanted also to try SVN code, but it does not compile
