build system needs to check library versions about openscad HOT 6 CLOSED

I've found an issue that may be related. It causes openscad to crash when compiling/rendering even the simplest command. I'm running Mac OSX 10.5.8. Here's the steps I took:

1. I downloaded the latest dmg ("OpenSCAD-2011.12.dmg"), mounted the disk image and ran the OpenScad.app.
2. Typed in the command cube([2,3,4]);
3. hit F6 to compile/render

Result: openscad crashed, and the crash report gives these details:

I then downloaded an older openscad dmg ("OpenSCAD-2011.04.dmg") from github and did the same steps as above, and the cube rendered just fine.

stopthejunk1: This is probably not related, but it really should be fixed. Could you test a few things for me?

1. Run OpenSCAD in 32-bit more and check if the same error occurs (Cmd-I on OpenSCAD.app, check "Open in 32-bit mode", rerun)
2. Download and run the latest development snapshot: http://www.kintel.net/public/OpenSCAD-2012.01.25.dmg

Just posting a link to help fix this:

Hi,

I have the same problem as stopthejunk1. openscad 2011-06 works fine (made myself a nice dock for my phone with it), but newer versions crash on f5 or f6 of a simple cube([2,3,4]);. I tried to open in 32-bit mode, same result. I made the test with versions
2012-02-19, 2012-01-25 (the one linked above), 2011-12-??.

Crash result for version 2012-01-25 :

Just FYI:
This problem is apparently due to a backwards compativility bug/limitation of Apple's c++ library.
Compiling on 10.5 would make it work, as might be compiling against the 10.5 SDK on later versions of OS X.
