FR 1.1.6 is included in leopard with patches from Apple to make it work 
with the open directory services/ server admin stuff.

I ran into exactly the same issue as you when attempting to build on

architecture running tiger...

It is, but apple include 1.1.6 not 2.0.0, very few people have attempted 
to build FR 2 on leopard server.
