I tried compiling in on my laptop, which  has Mac OS 10.5.2 (the other  
machine has 10.4) and interestingly enough, I get a different error  
when compiling.  On the leopard machine the error is "ld: symbol(s)  
not found" and what I think is a different point in the compilation.

I'll contact the author of the software and see if he has any tips
