Sherpa crashes on OS X 10.8

Description
I have built Sherpa 2.0.b2 on OS X with clang, but find that it fails even with the simplest command (Sherpa --version). The error message is: Sherpa(17490) malloc: * error for object 0x7fff75f4e570: pointer being freed was not allocated
I am using clang from Xcode command line tools, and gfortran 4.8 from homebrew. I have noticed from "otool -L Sherpa" that it is not linked to libstdc++ which I believe my previous installation was. Could this be involved?
Please let me know what kind of information I can supply to try to sort this. I am trying to write a package installer for sherpa to make it easier for others to install it on a Mac (it handles all dependencies too).

I have added a patch which fixes this problem. This works on Macs, I hope you can test the build process on Linux.

Hi Hendrik,
Do you happen to know when these changes will make it into the tarballed versions? I'm struggling to build from the SVN repo. I do "autoreconf -f -i" and then follow the usual install procedure, but it complains: *
- Incomplete sources and no SVN information *
- This copy of Sherpa will not be supported *
- Please contact info@sherpa-mc.de for help *
*
Cheers, David

Are you using svn export or svn checkout? With checkout it should work.
I have solved this problem now. It was because Sherpa was finding the libstdc++ installed with gfortran, rather than the one with clang.
It presented another problem when I tried to build with lhapdf though. It seems Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) is now POSIX compatible, so I needed to make the following change: inreplace 'PDF/LHAPDF/LHAPDF_Fortran_Interface.C', "#define DIRENT_TYPE dirent", "#define DIRENT_TYPE const dirent"
