Stonie,

Those warning message have occured for me in past releases as well as this one. 
The difference is that this binary was linked against the Xorg X11 libraries 
(on a workstation), 
where before the system was configured with the XFree86 version (on a laptop).

We are looking into both fink as well as darwinports for a compatible set of
compilers and libraries. The Darwin envirionment is not very turnkey at the 
moment,
but the binaries are runable on both machines here, both of which report from 
"uname -a"
Darwin Kernel Version 8.6.0: Tue Mar  7 16:58:48 PST 2006
