RE: OSX 10.6 libffi updates
I agree the versions are confusing.
My 10.5 systems calls itself:
Darwin jbook2 9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed Jul 15 16:55:01 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
if that helps.
> Is the darwin equivalent of OSX 10.6 "darwin10.6"?
No, it isn't.
I don't know the formula, just that it isn't what anyone would expect.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_%28operating_system%29
says 10.5 == 9.0, 10.6==10.0, among others.
