I've dealt with reports of people not having Xcode's compiler executables in /usr/bin on Lion. Apple's installer seems to be nondeterministic for reasons that escape me. According to the internals of the package, these are _supposed_ to be installed. I'm not sure what gets hardcoded into the mkoctfile script in the 3.4.0 binary package for compilers. If it wants /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/g++ then "pkg install" will fail on packages that need compiling. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
