John,

The binary distribution I build is on a PPC (G5 I believe) which shows Darwin 
8.8.0:

% uname -a
Darwin sid.unidata.ucar.edu 8.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.0: Fri Sep  8 
17:18:57 PDT 2006; root:xnu-792.12.6.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc

If you are having trouble on a G4 with possibly older OS-X version, it might be 
that
the message queues aren't supported (Tiger and Jaguar didn't support, but 
Panther did).

Can you check on your Darwin version and/or tell me about how old your OS-X 
version is?
I don't have an Intel based system here, but is nice to know you have had 
success
on that platform. I'm assuming you are running the
binary I provided?


Steve
