Yeah, the build instructions online were out of date. I've been
reorganizing the instructions on the GRASS site, to simplify things
and reduce confusion, since the up-to-date instructions are currently
maintained in the source OSX readme.
The readme instructions could be used for Panther for GRASS 6.4, and
6.4 should work fine on Panther. For the frameworks, my binaries are
Panther compatible, but I have build scripts that should work to build
the frameworks on Panther. TclTk is easy to compile on OSX, though
the ActiveTcl might work on Panther.

Willing to do the update of the Source Build Page html wherever it
belongs (html/link) - see also below.
I am running mac os 10.3.9 in a Pismo (PPC Hardware, 100g hd, 384
SDRAM, 500mhz).
I want to work with GRASS 6.3; honestly just want a version which
will run pretty smoothly, and so tried the source build instructions.
I am under the impression that once the correct dependencies are
installed in the correct order it does not matter (much) what system
I am running as long as there is enough memory.
After 4.5 hours of searching and downloading per the online source
build instructions, I did not have the correct versions. I had
previously tried the Panther build from William Kyngsbury with the
install script, and got the nad2bin error even when I applied the
correction (his documentation was updated since).
I would be happy to save out the html from the source build
instructions and update it with current links if I could get the
correct dependencies order and install script. I have been battling
uphill with the Pismo/Panther Mac for several years now, and am
close to just buying Tiger, but want to better understand the
relationships involved in building GRASS, and in using FOSS generally.
I would also suggest a GRASS/OSGEO user ftp site to save the
dependencies for a GRASS (Stable) version as that seems most
intelligent for this kind of build (GDAL and Postgres no longer had
the 2005 build instruction versions available, and the others were
hard to find).
If it is too much work to source dependencies, order and install/
configure directions, sorry for the length of the email. :-) Daniel
