Compilation error on Mac OSX 10.5.2

I am upgrading root from 5.17.04 to 5.18.00 . I am installing it on a mac osx 10.5.2 .
When I installed 5.17 I had no problems. Trying to install 5.18 I get the error below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Others with the same computer have installed 5.18.00 successfully and we’re all at a loss at why this error is occuring. I have updated everything to the latest version (for things like freetype etc.).

Below is the configuration script
./configure macosx

–etcdir=${prefix}/${level}/etc/root
–libdir=${prefix}/${level}/lib
