Actually, OSX 10.5 only comes with 8.4 Aqua.

That's certainly possible.  I have to watch some projects when I  
compile them when I want to use dependencies that I've built newer  
versions than are available in the system - if the project adds -L/usr/ 
lib to the linking, the system version will usually link instead of  
mine.  Since /usr/lib is always in the default link path, it's not  
needed.  OSX -L ordering rules in the linker are a bit different than  
linux, and can be troublesome at times.

GRASS is good about this, but there are a couple things in the system  
that can add that, from .la info or config scripts.

Michael, for the line that links nviz, do you see -L/usr/lib?
