I was advised to reinstall gcc3.1.pkg from Xtools in order to install gv. (Before, I reported the below problem, in which I was able to install xv but not gv.) I reinstalled gcc3.1.pkg successfully, but it didn't solve the problem. Is there a way to check that my gcc3.1.pkg is in fact installed? Where would it be?
The missing file in question is /usr/lib/gcc/darwin/3.1/crtbegin.o
Do you have it? It is actually installed by different packages, depending on your version of the developer tools. On Panther, it was originally installed (together with the whole gcc3.1 compiler) by a package called "DeveloperTools.pkg". Later on, Apple separated the developer tools into smaller packages, and now it is installed by the gcc3.1.pkg. The Apple installer is notorious for "forgetting" files that have changed their affiliation.
There exist a couple of scripts that test the completeness of installed packages by comparing with the list of files in the receipts in /Library/Receipts. In the case of a freshly installed package, my little bomcheck script could be useful:
curl -O http://perso.wanadoo.fr/costabel/bomcheck sh bomcheck gcc3.1
It lists missing files. If there are any, reinstall gcc3.1.pkg.
