I cannot reproduce with nightly r155445 on 10.8.4. Please attach your crash log. Also, please note that WebKit nightlies are only expected to work on latest point release of OS X, so please install 10.8.4.

I have a related question though, do i need to open a separate ticket ? I am also not able to build webkit on my 10.8.2 system. following is the error log after downloading webkit from svn and executing $build-webkit --debug http://pastebin.com/w1KEXfHA advice would be helpful to me :D Thanks Ron.

Normally, such questions should be asked on webkit-help mailing list. But in this case, I can answer it quickly, it's just the same issue as the crash that you observe with nightlies - WebKit requires functionality that was not present in 10.8.2. Out of curiosity, what is your reason to use 10.8.2? There were many important fixes since then, including security ones.
