Thank you for your reply. Over the weekend, I think I attempted to install
Linux Binaries out of the expectation that Linux binaries would work on any
X86 machine, provided perl and ruby are available.
I am new to the mac environment and the reason I bought it was to be able to
have a nice user interface on top of a long established BSD UNIX
distribution. I was also assuming that on that type of machine, I could do
what is easily done on a Linux machine.

As far as I could ascertain the compiling problems on MAcOSX 10.5.x
(Leopard) go away when in the CFLAGS is included an architecture
parameter, e.g.
-arch ppc
-arch i386
or more specific mcpu=G5 etc.
It seems otherwise the correct ANSI_C header files are not found by
the gcc compiler.
