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 MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET, 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.
