You wrote 32 bit intel with Mac OS X 10.6.8 and thats the reason why I asked for details. In the machine I tried is a 64 bit CPU but Snow Leopard uses by default a 32 bit kernel and 32 bit extension BUT the unfair thing is, that gcc builds by default 64 bit software on this machine. If you also had a machine like this then the following should work - if you have a real 32 bit machine (look in the system profiler) then I have to play around with the compiler options and / or older versions of the libraries / the software.

I downloaded pth-2.0.7.tar.gz, libksba-1.3.0.tar.bz2, libassuan-2.1.1.tar.bz2, libgcrypt-1.5.3.tar.gz and libgpg-error-1.12.tar.gz (not in that order), extract it and installed (for every library the same commands) it using
