Exactly, precisely, to the letter what you did to install would be helpful to know here. This problem kept intermittently getting reported on Windows until it was finally tracked down to a difference in behavior depending on whether one issued the command "python setup.py install" or just "setup.py install". Now I've seen it reported a few times on Leopard but I don't have a Leopard (or any Mac) machine to test on so I can't determine if its the same problem (which should be fixed in current SVN) or a different one. I'm suspecting a different one since it does keep getting reported intermittently for Leopard, and you say you installed from SVN so I'd expect you got a fairly recent version which should already have the fix mentioned above. > Some things seem to be working while others do not.

Did you actually create symlinks to install? I'm having a hard time figuring out how you could hit this problem using the symlink install method instead of setup.py. > Is anyone on the list knowledgeable enough about OS X and Django to > help me out?

Given the error you are seeing, it would seem that django tree is missing the contrib/admin/templates (and probably contrib/admin/media) trees underneath it. You could just delete the existing django tree here and try re-installing, but it would be nice to figure out how it is happening that Leopard installs sometimes wind up missing the admin templates.
