You need enable it only if you want to run unstable. A reason to switch to 3.3 (including stable) is for if and when you update to Panther. I'm not sure about the speed on this--I haven't updated yet. > BTW this is close to a previous post of mine where I asked if it was OK > to switch back to gcc2.95.2 for installing a soft that otherwise would > not run with gcc 3.1. > The only thing I'm sure of is that I have to choose consistently a > compiler version, but apart from that, I don't know... > I 'thought' (?) that gcc 3.1 was mandatory for Fink packages on Jaguar, > and gcc 3.3 mandatory for a G5 (even on OsX 10.2.8) but maybe (surely?) > I'm wrong... Now 3.3 is acceptable, for those packages which are in the 10.2-gcc3.3 tree--this is part of the Panther upgrade effort. If things are set up right, then everything will be compiled with 3.3 unless they are flagged as buildable with 3.1 only. I'm not sure about the G5 issue. > Would you spare the time to give advices? > > Thank you, > > Manuel -- Alexander K.
