Comment:

 As you can see [http://www.dest-
 unreach.org/socat/doc/socat.html#ADDRESS_TUN here] the documentation
 explicitly mentions '''Linux''' when talking about TUN/TAP. My
 interpretation is that TUN/TAP is not supported under OS X. I also checked
 the configure logs, and the script explicitly looks for {{{linux/tun.h}}}
 and says:

 {{{
  configure: WARNING: include file linux/if_tun.h not found
 }}}

 The software probably needs modifications in order to use {{{tuntaposx}}}
 libraries, you'll have to check with upstream if integration is possible.
