I'm showing llvm-gcc-4.2 and llvm-g++ as part of Xcode 3.2.6 (actually all the way back to 3.2.3 in my pkgutil history), so we're probably not going to break things for people on 10.6 who have stayed current with Xcode. 10.5, of course, is another matter. - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6hxXsACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ/eowCfYPpnn9TLNnBIF5e4lWA/moxy SE8AnRC1pII4EE33cWH+iMhF+9IW/Hn2 =yYpv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
