There is one other problem I've heard of for 64 bit versions of OSX, 
which Peter reported as follows:

The aglrgl.so library is built from osxgui.mm and osxlib.cpp.  I'd been assuming the problem was an API change in recent OSX 64 bit, but maybe it's a problem with the makefiles or the compiler.  If you can suggest any fixes for this, I'd appreciate it.  (The newest OSX that I have is 10.6.8.)
