You might offer to let a developer have remote shell access to
troubleshoot that. Unless one of them was issued a new powerbook by thier
employer, I'm sure they have limited access to this newer platform.
Also, you should try Pkgsrc/Fink/Darwinports instead of compiling form
source so that you have some sort of 3rd party software control system.
Also posting config.log somewhere might be insightful
