Hmm. Out of curiosity, I recompiled rsync as a 64-bit application, and the same error comes up. Something like this if you're interested (iconv won't work): # MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 # CFLAGS=”-arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp” # CCFLAGS=”-arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe” # CXXFLAGS=”-arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe” # LDFLAGS=”-arch x86_64 -bind_at_load” # export CFLAGS CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS CCFLAGS MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET This is arcane stuff, beyond my abilities or knowledge of programming. As for Mat Cohen's question about the Xcode version, try: xcodebuild -version at your prompt. -- W. Oates -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
