Root 5.24 won't build on Mac OS X 10.5.7 (Leopard)

I did:

	tar -xzf ~/Downloads/root_v5.24.00.source.tar.gz
	cd root


	./configure macosx

	make

And it exited with error code 2, without any obvious error message: ... many lines omitted...

I then wondered if specifying "macosx" was the problem, so I did:

	cd ..
	rm -fr root
	tar -xzf ~/Downloads/root_v5.24.00.source.tar.gz
	cd root


	./configure

	make

And it exited with error code 2, without any obvious error message: ... many lines omitted...

How can I get this to build? Note that I will need BOTH shared libraries and static libraries, so a binary-only install is not sufficient for my needs.
