Good news! Here is what I suspect were the conflicting files. The first is: > which gcc4.3.2 /usr/bin/gcc4.3.2 > /usr/bin/gcc4.3.2 --version gcc4.3.2 (GCC) 4.3.2 Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This gcc4.3.2 was installed a year ago, probably a do-it-yourself job. In addition, both /usr/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc and /usr/bin/ powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.3.2 where copies of this gcc4.3.2. I suspect that powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc was the file being called during the install of gcc44. At any rate, I eliminated gcc4.3.2, powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc, and powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.3.2 from / usr/bin. Under /usr/bin I still have gcc-3.3 (should I eliminate it?); gcc-4.0.1, powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1, and i686-apple-darwin8- gcc-4.0.1, which I gather should all be there. I tried installing gcc44... and it is running for 10 minutes without breaking, which means it passed the former breakpoint. Consider the problem solved. Sorry to have waited you time because of my messed up system.
