I'm currently working with Bradley to get an OS X Tiger binary done. 
There is a version in Fink unstable that does compile and work under 
Tiger and I believe Leopard, but I know people shouldn't have to go 
that route.

We've figured out what caused the error I posted, don't know if 
Bradley figured out why it happened yet but I did manage to make a 
working executable without Fink, just doing more testing on it and 
then I need to learn how to make the mac binaries.
