This is a linker error. It is finding OpenEXR in /usr/local  
automatically. This path is searched automatically with Scons as a  
feature. It is likely that the version of OpenEXR in /usr/local  
differs from what blender expects or some-such.

Scons looks in /usr/local/ automagically. Check the Scons  
documentation to find out the PATHs included by default.

If you plan to distribute your build, be sure to use otool -L on the  
blender binary to see what your resulting binary includes. You may  
also need to manually tweak the link-line to include the OpenEXR  
libraries as static links.

You may wish to try another of the build paths to see if you can  
reproduce the problem.

have a day.yad
