Strange, it works here for 10.5.8. Probably Apple deprecated another
interface, well done I'll update to SnowLeopard these days and retry.

That is because autoconf fails to see Multiprocessing.h, and it is right
about that.

A fetch is indeed not enought. What you normally do is an initial clone
and then just call 'git pull'. 'git fetch' will get new objects from the
