Server. I launched RenderD and it informed me (via console) "Launching
./blender" followed by a pause then the abovementioned crash.

Haven't gotten to the point where I can launch the client... the server
won't stay up. :-)

It does: blender immediately quits since there isn't anything to
render. :-) I wasn't expecting a window, but since typing ./blender
from the command line DOES generate a window then the ./renderd command
executing ./blender should generate one, too. Unless there's a command
line option that I don't know about?
Stefan:
Thanks for the config.guess tip. Should I also use this for blender, or
has that one already been updated?
I am executing renderd from a directory that has a copy of the
/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender executable in it directly. When I
compile blender, I get an executable AND a blender.app: I'm using the
executable.
Help appreciated! I have ambitions of putting a rendering machine on my
network to pass off anims and test frames to while I"m modeling.
