That's what I'm saying. :-) You wouldn't be able to use _any_ deb for that package from anywhere riow.

A google hit suggested running /Developer/Applications/Performance Tools/MallocDebug.app. As to the "end of file" message--I've gotten those when an official .deb wasn't the same size as what I built from source (binary-installed packages override local source installs). If you've got the .deb files for gcc4 and gcc4-shlibs (4.0.2) then you could try removing gcc4 and gcc4-shlibs and installing them again using "sudo dpkg -i <filenames>". -- Alexander K.
