fink's builds have been using both gcc4 and g++4 on 10.4 as of mid-2006, except for packages that specifically couldn't use anything newer than 3.3. I'm not sure what update you applied--Xcode 2.5 has worked fine for years for people on 10.4. To use Fink you would need at least to hack the fink Perl modules: 1) to ensure that they point at your Perl. 2) to set up the system-perl virtual package not to assume other than perl5.8.6, and to block locally Fink's perl588 package as not for 10.4 if you want to use Fink to build modules against your Perl. -- Alexander K.
