I have both ar and libtool but I remember I also had problems compiling because make aborted.  A simple ranlib on the libs followed by another call to make did the job.  Never tried the libtool way but I'll give it a shot once I get to it.

I am on 10.6.7, XCode 3.2.6.

I think I also had the change the Boolean typedef on OS X because there was some historical definition (or so I read) to unsigned char instead of unsigned.  That was only necessary to use Live555 in my own programs, not to compile Live555 by itself.  Just a heads-up to the OP and maybe it is no longer necessary for newer versions of Live555.

Cheers, Thomas.
