I did see that. I'm trying to compile from source because I want  
tighter control over what I put on my computer, and (mainly) for the  
learning experience. I'm a bit new to using the *nixes and variants.

I do have a /dev/ptmx:
badi@eru [~/src/cvs-svn/cgdb]: file /dev/ptmx
/dev/ptmx: character special (15/2)

Sure.

btw, I wonder if this could have something to do with readline. I was  
having difficulty getting readling5.2 to build. I ended up changing  
the support/shobj-conf in the readline source directory to allow for  
darwin9 (leopard). The only changes I made were:
145:	darwin8*)									<----->	darwin9*)
and
156:	SHOBJ_LDFLAGS='-undefined dynamic_lookup' <----> 	SHOBJ_LDFLAGS='- 
undefined dynamic_lookup -dynamiclib'

Heres the link to my discovery on how to accomplish that:
