Same link error occurs if one build the original source with XCode 3.0.

Please file a bug upstream if you have not already done so.

[ryandesign@…]

It doesn't built on Mac OS X 10.4.11 either, though it's a different error.

DesktopManager 0.5.3 is from 2005. Perhaps it has bitrotted.

Since Mac OS X 10.5 includes Spaces, perhaps this software isn't so interesting anymore.
