Okay, I ran into problems, so I'm taking you up on your offer for more
help.  Thanks in advance.

I had this already done.

I installed fink.  Ran into a few minor issues there, but eventually got
it sorted out.  I installed libjpeg and libpng with it.

You listed libtiff instead of libpng, but the README didn't so I assumed
you were remembering it wrong, which could be my error, of course.  I also
didn't install zlib because I was led to believe Mac OS X 10.2 had it by
default, again I could be wrong.

I didn't use prefix but was prepared to sudo when the time came.

I did remove these two little items.

This is where I lost it.  Make spit out some very strange errors:

...
cc1plus: invalid option `arch=i586'
cc1plus: invalid option `align-double'
cc1plus: invalid option `inline-all-stringops'
cc1plus: bad value (i586) for -mcpu= switch
make[1]: *** [atmosph.o] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

It obviously guessed my platform wrong, I'm on a dual G4.  Any advice is
greatly appreciated!
