Error installing openCV 2.3.0 / 2.3.1 on mac os X 10.6.8

I am trying since two days to install OpenCV 2.3.0 or 2.3.1 on my mac 10.6.8 snow leopard. I followed the following commands

$ cd /Users/ateendra/Desktop/OpenCV-2.3.0/  
$ mkdir build  
$ cd build/  
$ cmake -D CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=i386 -D CMAKE_C/CXX_FLAGS=-m32 ..  
$ ccmake .  
$ make -j8  
$ sudo make install

now i get the following errors

 /Users/ateendra/Desktop/OpenCV-2.3.0/modules/highgui/src/grfmt_exr.hpp:83: error: reference to ‘PixelType’ is ambiguous  
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/QD.framework/Headers         /QuickdrawTypes.h:193: error: candidates are: typedef SInt8 PixelType  
/opt/local/include/OpenEXR/ImfPixelType.h:49: error: enum Imf::PixelType  
/Users/ateendra/Desktop/OpenCV-2.3.0/modules/highgui/src/grfmt_exr.hpp:83: error: ‘PixelType’ does not name a type  
make[2]: *** [modules/highgui/CMakeFiles/opencv_highgui.dir/src/loadsave.o] Error 1  
make[1]: *** [modules/highgui/CMakeFiles/opencv_highgui.dir/all] Error 2

Solution

I've managed to install OpenCV 2.3.1 on OSX 10.6.8, but I've done it using MacPorts, (which I recommend as it deals with dependencies and building for you):

Make sure you've got Apple Developer Tools installed (or at least XCode with the command line tools)
Install MacPorts (if you haven't done so already)
Install OpenCV via MacPorts:

sudo port install opencv

For more details see Build via MacPorts on the wiki.

I also have to mention that I did run into an error, but that was because of a previous existing dylib in the wrong place.
