If binaries aren't stable across versions then I don't know what to tell mac users other than they'll have to compile xdelta themselves
I'd try to make it easier or write a tutorial, but I don't have a mac.
Where did you get the compiled version anyway? What system was it compiled on?
I got the error running on 10.4 of os X, was the version you got compiled on 10.5? or an earlier system?
The only trouble with mac users having to compile xdelta3 themselves is they would have to install a huge bunch of developer tools, in particular x11, which isn't installed by default.
I read in the 'patch for mac' thread that one guy had success, perhaps it would be 'easier' to track down compiled versions for 10.4, 10,5 and possibly 10.3 and include them with the patch.
I tried for a long time to get *any* compiled version online but I couldn't find even one.

I answered my own question, that version you included in the mac patch is compiled for os x 10.5
It patches just fine on Leopard (INTEL) but I don't know about 10.5 (PPC). I will try it on a PPC 10.5 tomorrow.
It does
not work on 10.4 (PPC).
For those mac users on the newer intel machines, here's how to get it to work...
1) Make a folder on your desktop, on the safe side don't include spaces in the name.
2) In that folder put the files from BOTH the pc and mac patches.
3) Open your Utilities folder inside your Applications folder and run Terminal.
4) Drag the file PatchSoma into the terminal window and press enter.
A new file with the -patched extension to the filename is created. This is your translated rom.

Not sure if you updated your Dracula's Castle map on Gamefaqs yet DarthNemesis, but there's a typo for the location of the Rapidus Fio (i41 not r41)
