Re: darwin gcc3.1 problem

[W . Northcott]

This happened to me a few months back after trying to install gcc3.1.  The 
problem was that I was left with a mixture of gcc2.95 and 3.1.  The 
combination will not compile even 'Hello World' which is why the configure 
script is bitching.

On one computer I managed to fix the old compiler by disabling the Fink 
initialisation script which changes the PATH, and deleting all traces of 
gcc3.  On another I had to reformat the disk and start again.

Since then I have been very careful and only tried to install gcc3 using 
an account without admin priveleges.  That way you can't overwrite the 
original.

There is currently pressure from people on the gcc3-darwin list for a 
package install to make it easier for testers like ourselves.  Hopefully 
something will come of it.
