Hi John,

My response might sound somewhat like a broken record, but I would
recommend building with the "real" gnu compilers (which can be
obtained/built in a fairly straightforward manner by MacPorts or
fink...or even from scratch) rather than a hodge-podge of Xcode and a
pre-compiled gfortran. If you search back in the list archive,
several people have posted information about doing this, but I will
include my abbreviated instructions (adapted from http://amberonmac.blogspot.com/2010/04/step-by-step-ambertools-14-installation.html)
  that seem to work well on a variety of 10.5 and 10.6 machines:

(1) download and install the latest Xcode (3.2.x) -- sounds like
you've already done this
(2) download and install the latest version of MacPorts (1.9.x)
(3) use MacPorts to install gcc 4.4.4 (sudo port install gcc44)
(4) use MacPorts to install gcc_select (sudo port install gcc_select)
(5) use gcc_select to make gcc 4.4.4 your default compilers (sudo
gcc_select mp-gcc44)
(6) download AmberTools and unpack it into a directory *other than* /
usr/local (e.g., /Users/your_username/amber11) -- this avoids all of
the permission/ownership issues of trying to build in /usr/local
(7) set your $AMBERHOME environment variable to the appropriate
directory (this depends on what shell you're using, but usually can be
done in the .profile file in your home directory)
(8) configure AmberTools as "usual" (./configure -macAccelerate gnu)

Best,

Paul
