Dear all, I am trying to install Fink for Mac OSX 10.8.4. However upon bootstrap I am getting an error that I need gcc4.2.
I have read some similar posts, and tried the 'moves' listed below, however I am still having problems. I have XCode 5, and I installed the command line tools. However in terms of c compliers it now comes with : gcc ? some unrecognised version clang (which from reading some posts seems to be a replacement for gcc-4.2 which is what fink wants) None of these are symbolic links. There is one symbolic link cc->clang. I tried downloading gcc-4.2 using macports. sudo port install apple-gcc42 and then made a symbolic link sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-4.2 /usr/bin/gcc sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-4.2 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 And fink is still complaining: Checking package... looks good (fink-0.35.1). Checking system... i386-apple-darwin12.4.0 WARNING: /usr/bin/gcc is not a symlink!Under Mac OS X 10.8.4, Fink must be bootstrapped or updated with gcc 4.2, however, you currently have gcc (unknown version) selected. This typically is due to alteration of symlinks which were installed by Xcode. To correct this problem, you will need to restore the compiler symlinks to the configuration that Apple provides. Any help would be appreciated. thank you, Alison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
