Raul,

I'm CCing r-sig-phylo and the phylobase-dev list as other people may  
be having the same problem.

This should have worked.  It works for me, however I'm using 10.5 on  
an intel computer.  Guessing from the error message you're using a PPC  
computer.

Well we know appear to have two problems, one is that the build from R- 
forge doesn't work on your system (does any one on the list have a PPC  
with Mac os X 10.4, to confirm this).  The other problem is that it's  
not compiling either.

Are you still getting the same errors even with the developer tools  
installed?
