Well, i could solve this issue by changing the #include <malloc.h> to #include <malloc/malloc.h> in src/procfile.c and src/apps_plugin.c file but, i am getting a different error now in common.c file PFB the error

This is probably a duplicate of #124

I am afraid it will not work. Check #112 and #187 that discuss FreeBSD support (that is very close to OS X).

Even if it compiles, there will not be much it can do, as it requires the Linux /proc filesystem for collecting data. There are a few suggestions for implementing more generic data collection, like #481 but no progress has been done towards this target (I need help - too many feature requests).

Cleaning up. Let's discuss non-Linux support on the issues mentioned above.
