I got it.

The Apple Developer Tools comes with a half-dozen or so installation
packages.  The way I read the docs, it seemed that installing the one called
"Developer.pkg"  should install everything.  It seems I was mistaken.  In
addition to
"Developer", I installed "DevTools.pkg"  and  "DevSDK.pkg".    The first one
provided gcc, the second the proper libraries.

After that:  smooth as silk.  Everything compiled and installed, and I'm in
bouncing ball heaven.

I don't know if installing "Developer"  was essential, unnecessary, or
benign.  All I can vouch for is that installing all three, "Developer"
first, worked for me.

Thanks, Jonathan, for your help with this, and for all your work on the
project.
