Hmmm, neosun had this compiling at some point. Have you seen the
mac os X link here:
http://cgdb.sourceforge.net/download.php

It has a binary which you can use, unless you are relying on trunk/ for
some reason.

Hmm, this could be a problem. I didn't write this code, I borrowed it
from the ssh project. So, either autoconf screwed up, and brought you
down the wrong path in psuedo.c or pseudo.c needs to be modified to work
on the specific OS you are compiling for.

Well, we would first need to know how to open a pty on mac os 10.5. Once
we figured that out, we can determine what's going wrong with psuedo.c.
Do you have a /dev/ptmx directory? How about /dev/ptc?
