Let's see. The box with the disk says "Mac OS X Tiger - Version 10.4" on the spine. The "About This Mac" popup says "10.4.7". That gets the easy solution out of the way ;-) It used to run 10.3 though. Is there some possibility the update from 10.3 to 10.4 had problems? Note that the compile log on the buildbot 10.4 box also has "10.3" in its directory names. If I remember correctly, it came from Apple with 10.4 installed. /me slaps head. Having 10.3 in the directory names is intentional, the version in the directory name is the value of MACOSXDEPLOYMENTTARGET, with is defaulted to 10.3 in the configure script. What I don't understand yet is why your copy of libz doesn't have inflateCopy. What does /usr/lib/libz.dylib point to on your system? On my 10.4 box it is a symlink that points to libz.1.2.3.dylib and there is an older version of libz (libz.1.1.3.dylib) in /usr/lib as well.

Maybe Skip didn't upgrade to the latest version of Xcode? Perhaps
he's still got an old SDK?
