Xapian discuss - Sep 2009 - Can't make on OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard)

Hi there

I'm trying to install xapian-core 1.0.15 on Mac 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and am
getting the following error when I try to make:

Any clues on how to remedy this would be appreciated.

There was an issue reported a week ago about snow leopard build  
issues, which might help you

http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/396

which includes a link to a changeset:

http://trac.xapian.org/changeset/13431

Patching the source with that, gave me a 1.0.15 that compiled at least

good luck
