Also, it seems possible that a user might have a similar problem with a lib that isn't Apple's.Here's a list of Panther-Tiger incompatibilities I came up with when working out Panther-compatible Tiger builds (not quite exhaustive, mainly stuff that directly affected what I was doing):
[... lis snipped ...]The more I work on supporting 10.3.9 and 10.4 the more I believe that the binary installer shouldn't link to system versions of libraries that aren't in a part of the OS where Apple is serious about versioning/backward-compatiblity.
That is the easiest way to achieve compatibility with older OS releases without extensive testing.
BTW. I don't know what I'll do once 10.5 is out, I might stop working on 10.3.9 support.
