The default shell on Mac OS X has been bash since 10.3.0:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86135&coll=cp

However, your user account will still use tcsh if it was originally  
created in Mac OS X 10.0 thru 10.2 and you then updated to a new OS.


I'm not having any trouble compiling cairo on Mac OS X 10.4.9, and I  
haven't needed to set ACLOCAL_FLAGS. My pkg-config is, however, in  
the same prefix where I'm building cairo. The variables I'm setting are:

MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 (you'll want 10.3 here) PATH="/my/ 
prefix/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin"
CFLAGS="-I/my/prefix/include -I/usr/X11R6/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/my/prefix/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib"
PGK_CONFIG_PATH="/my/prefix/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig"

And then I configure with --prefix=/my/prefix


I am using bash, so all I do to set the environment variables is, e.g.,

VAR1=foo VAR2=bar ./configure --prefix=baz

I don't know how it works on tcsh anymore. You may need "setenv VAR1  
foo" "setenv VAR2 bar" etc. on separate lines before you run configure.


I haven't tried compiling on 10.3.x myself, but I hope this helps get  
you on your way.
