Dave, Any thoughts on the alternative approach as implemented in... http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3427243&group_id=17203&atid=317203 Checking for 10.6 in the path-prefix-10.6 compiler-wrapper and substituting gcc-4.2 and g++-4.2 for instances of cc/gcc and c++/g++ seems the least invasive approach. Hopefully we can fix this issue in the near term. Jack ps It is unfortunate that we can't offer clang support to SL users but without a blanket adoption of clang for SL Xcode 4.2, I don't see the user base being big enough to merit the changes for a UseClang option. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
