When I compiled under Mac OS X, I just commented the #include out and 
implemented my own basename() and dirname() functions. They haven't been 
tested, but here they are:

char * basename(char * path)
{
    int j = 0;
    int idx = 0;//current starting location of copy
    while(path[j])
    {
        if(path[j] == '/')
        {
            idx = 0;
        }
        else
        {
            path[idx] = path[j];
            idx++;
        }
        j++;
    }
    path[j] = '\0';
    return path;
}

char * dirname(char * path)
{
    int idx = -1;//index of last '/' in string
    for(int j = 0; path[j]; j++)
        if(path[j] == '/')
            idx = j;
    
    if(idx != -1)
        path[idx + 1] = '\0';
    
    return path;
}
