You get Version 3.3 by first installing the December 2003 Developertools and afterwards the August 2003 Developertools Update. Both packages can be downloaded for free at <connect.apple.com>. Registration is needed but free. Be aware the Size of the packages at least the December 2002 Dev Tools is large :-) Since you have gcc 3.1 I you may already have Dec2002 Dev Tools so you may not need them. > Then... How do I get fink to use the current-10.2-gcc3.3 branch? By editin your fink.conf in /sw/etc. The line tress should tell you 10.2-gcc3.3. You need to be root to edit fink.conf so don't forget sudo in front of the name of your favourite editor. After this switch to rsync for future fink updates. cvs is only for developers or users behind a very restrictive firewall or thos who simply want all info files on their harddisk. To enable rsync simply type "fink selfupdate-rsync". If asked answer the questions and there you go. Rsync only updates the current tree set in your fink.conf and best of all it is mirror based so if one mirror fails you still have other. CVS was only availabale via sourceforge.net. When the first selfupdate using rsync is done. You only need "fink selfupdate" for future ones. Rsync will then be used automaticly. After a successfull fink selfupdate. A "fink update-all" should install the latest availabale packages in the 10.2-gcc3.3 tree. This also should solve your gaim problem. Again, be aware this update-all may take quite some time.
