In my haste to upgrade I missed that the latest TBB only supports 10.9 (the previous version only officially support 10.8 and higher).

What is the best way to approach this? Unfortunately, I don't have a 10.6 system to test on.

[sean@…]

Confirmed that the missing members are only available in 10.7 and higher. I will go ahead and submit a patch to remove the lines setting the offending fields in the malloc_introspection_t structure in the TBB source, which should allow TBB to work under 10.6.

Did a patch get submitted to the developers about this? Version 4.3-20141204 still has this problem.

[sean@…]

Unfortunately, only OS X 10.9 and later are officially supported by the latest versions, although 10.7 and later work (the missing fields malloc_introspection_t in were added with 10.7).

I don't have a 10.6 system to test with and see about potentially patching this.
