Hi Guys:

I've never tried DarwinPorts.  I'll have to check it out!
If you are building from source, everything should just work
except if you have an Intel Mac.  If that is the case, then see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gsl.general/533

As to Xcode.  I've not used it very much, but as I understand it;
it should be able to work with most GNU stuff.  There's a short
discussion of this somewhere in the Xcode documentation, but I don't
have time to find it right now.  If it has some nice features, please
let us know.
