Jack, I simply did "fink update-all" on a system which hadn't been updated in quite a while, and ran into this problem. If there are no packages currently in the fink database which use gcc44 or gcc45 to build, then we can remove the old gcc's. If there *are* any such packages, then we either need to update them to use gcc46 (or later), or else repair the gcc44/gcc45 packages so that they build with the current fink configuration. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing AppDynamics Lite, a free troubleshooting tool for Java/.NET Get 100% visibility into your production application - at no cost.
