To install Thrift (20070401 release) with [[Fink]]? on Mac OS X (10.4.9 Intel), first install these packages from Fink:
fink install boost1.33 libevent1 autoconf2.5 automake1.9 libtool14
Next, download the compatibility kernel_time.h file and install in /usr/local/include/compat. Finally, download the patch and apply to the Thrift code. You can now build and install Thrift:
/configure --with-boost=/sw --with-event=/sw && make && sudo make install
See other instructions for building Thrift on OSX from the developer’s group.
