The parallel MacOSX10.5.sdk/ tree is pretty empty, relying heavily on the base code in 10.4u (for universal: on Intel and PowerPC). On 10.3, using directories under /Developer/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/  *may* well work - that directory exists, but the tree under it is mostly empty under Leopard. Since 10.3 changed so much during its lifetime, probably easiest to forget about 10.3 support altogether.

Lloyd,

Thanks, I've added the above to the troubleshooting page:
http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php/Troubleshooting

I personally haven't had problems using allinone package with OS 10.4, 
Xcode 2.4 on a G4 PPC, so maybe something has changed with Leopard or 
the newer Xcode.
