It's not the two versions of gcc. That's expected for some OS version/Xcode combinations. fink checks more than that. 1) What OS version do you have? E.g. run "sw_vers -productVersion" in a Terminal window. 2) What Xcode version are you using? E.g. run "xcodebuild -version" in a Terminal window. (1 and 2 are useful info in _any_ bug report) 3) The rsync selfupdate method requires that a certain virtual package, "dev-tools", be present. That, in turn require /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/make; since you have those something else appears to be amiss. What do you get from running fink-virtual-pkgs --debug 2>&1 | grep -A3 dev-tools in a terminal? - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6O3pkACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ+Q1ACdEpBidIZsqnkuOGGNjRrKJSje 4QAAni7oka2Eq0NSj7qX+L0QRVn84QBq =2sNw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
