I read this thread, or a similar one, on the Apple website.

Try this:

================================================================
            STANDARD_LIBRARY_HAS_ITERATOR_TRAITS

       has been added to CXX_Config.h that you may need to toggle
       if you get an error on the two lines that mention
       random_access_iterator. The current definition is correct
       for VC6 and EGCS-19990616.
================================================================

On line 5 of CXX_Config.h, switch to 0 vice 1.

Where does your STL come from on Mac?  What compiler is the standard for OS
X.n?  I am considering ways to fix the current method of determining system
dependencies with VPython, and your input will be appreciated.
