Apple has a different linker even though libtool may be installed. I  
had to use it recently to get libpng and libjpeg to function. I can't  
remember, unfortunately, what it's called, but once I ran it it worked  
perfectly. I found this quote that hints at the difference, but I don't  
understand half of it...

"The Mac OS X runtime model supports dynamic shared libraries. This  
model uses Mach-O and PEF binary file formats; the dynamic link editor  
(dyld) and the Code Fragment Manager (CFM) use these formats  
respectively. The kernel supports execve() with Mach-O binaries.  
Mapping and management of Mach-O dynamic shared libraries, as well as  
launching of PEF-based applications, are performed by user-space code."
