How did you install ZFS? – Did you use the installer, or did you try to install from source?

After some abstinence from ZFS I tried to install ZFS from source – on Mojave –, and as far as I remember the instructions were outdated.

I could solve some of the issues myself, but then I got stuck, maybe at the same place as you.

The installation from the 1.9.3.1 installer worked fine, though.

Thanks, it helped. I used the Installer provided on the 1.9.4.dmg and it worked! Much appreciated! :)
