Where to look: In the file "config.log" that sits beside the configure script.

Probable cause of the error: An infamous bug (or "improvement" according to Apple) in /usr/bin/ld that prevents linking to /usr/X11/lib/libGL.dylib without extra contortions. See
<http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2007/qa1567.html>

Easy there -- that page says "This is a side effect of various linker improvements in Leopard, which we may be able to mitigate in a future release."

Trust me, we have enough work "mitigating" bugs that we don't need to start mitigating "improvements". =)
