Good point. However, I copied the version number from the README file, which says 10.4, because copying from the DMG is messier. The DMG claims to be 10.6.
I also have installed XCode 3.2, with GCC 4.2.1 build 5646, which may help. For obscure reasons the XCode installation complained about a couple of bad phone-modem kexts, which I am now arguing with. Got one to download; the other complains that I can't read its spam-filter image. I have to close down everybody and restart, then I'll try installing with the right XCode in place. I am continually amazed that anything this complex works at all. Thanks for your comments.
