This is probably because I'm compiling on a Leopard machine and you're  
launching it on a Tiger machine?

I think the problem is that under Leopard /usr/X11R6 is a symlink to / 
usr/X11 and during linking process it keeps the dereferenced path. / 
usr/X11 doesn't exist on Tiger and earlier and fails.
