Summary: Unable to build 7.10.4 on OSX Leopard

Initial Comment:
Attempting to build 7.10.4 on an OSX Leopard machine results in:

make[2]: *** [pkgIndex.tcl] Trace/BPT trap
============

The OS is current with patches, Xcode installed from the Leopard CD. This machine is quite new, brlcad is the first project I've attempted to build on it (very little time/opportunity for library pollution to occur, whatever is broken is with the stock config)

I tried the MacOSX 7.10.4 distribution first, mged segfaults. I also tried downloading & building the latest libpng, same issue with the missing symbol.

The libpng problem in 10.5 is a known issue being looked into.  It does
amount to a problem with a cyclic reference in 10.5 between the ImageIO
framework and the new libPng library provided by Xorg's X11.  The latest
7.12.2 release of BRL-CAD takes care of fork problem that previously
required using the -f workaround.

As for how to work around the problem .. both libraries have to be moved
out of the way in order to compile then put back after BRL-CAD is
installed.  Else, just use the prebuilt Mac binary release.  Hope that
helps some.

No resolution. I stumbled upon the 'nofork' trick that allowed me to run
the prebuilt binaries, so gave up trying to build the source. After running
through a couple of the tutorials I gave up on this and bought MacTurboCad
for $30 off E-Bay.

Were you able to resolve this? I'm not actualy working on this project,
but since upgrading one of my systems to 10.5 and than 10.5.2 I get the
exact same errors when trying to use X11. Except, in my case it's " 
Expected in: "/usr/X11R6/lib/libPng.dylib" I tried downloading and
installing X11-2.2.0.1 but the error didn't change. I removed and
reinstalled all the X11 stuff, same error. Then I tried new users and X11
doesn't even start.

Any ideas would really help

Thanks,
--John
