I just migrated from Linux to Mac, and being the impatient person I am 
I decided to have a go at compiling virtualBox on my iMac, which is running
 10.5.1. I followed the Mac OSX build instructions, and things came to a halt
with the output below.

Anyway, I'm a proficient computer user with some experience of compiling 
things on Linux systems, but by no means a real Unix boffin. Is it worth 
me pursuing this and trying to get it to compile (and risk driving you all 
nuts with inane questions)? Or am I best off waiting until a new release 
comes out? If the former, can anyone help with my problem?

Thanks!
Tom
