Here's the output from gcc -v Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1

How do I install the gcc compiler with homebrew? I think I've installed homebrew, and entered "brew install wget". However, this is the output when I follow your instructions in (2): Zephyr:gap4r7 wchen$ ls CITATION config.log extern makepkgs sysinfo.in INSTALL configure gap.ini pkg trans Makefile.in configure.in gap.shi prim tst bin doc grp small cnf etc lib src Zephyr:gap4r7 wchen$ make clean make: *** No rule to make target `clean'.
