I tried this last week and got nowhere. I have tried all the 
suggestions this list has made. Still no joy. Surely this can't be 
this hard, so what am I doing wrong?

I have Python 2.2 installed just fine. I'm trying to get wxpython 
installed, which requires wxgtk. At one point, I had xfree86 base and 
rootless installed and working. At least I was able to startx and get 
an X environment going. Now that attempt fails after I tried to 
re-install xfree86-base and ran into a freaking compiler error.

So that's one problem.

The other is identical to what I had before when xfree86-base was 
working. I ask fink to install wxgtk (I have the unstable option 
set). I get a bunch of files on the screen, then I get:

>checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin5.3
>checking build system type... powerpc-apple-darwin5.3
>checking for ranlib... ranlib
>checking for gcc... no
>checking for cc... cc
>checking whether the C compiler (cc -no-cpp-precomp -I/sw/include 
>-L/sw/lib) works... no
>configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler 
>cannot create executables.
>###  failed, exit code 1
>Failed: compiling freetype-1.3.1-4 failed

Someone here suggested I had the wrong C compiler but nobody has 
indicated how to fix that problem if indeed that is what the error is.

For the sake of completeness, here's the error dump I get when I try 
now to install xfree86-base:

>make  Makefile.boot
>cd ./config/imake && make  -f Makefile.ini BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS="" CC="cc"
>making imake with BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS= in config/imake
>cc -o ccimake  -O -I../../include -I../../imports/x11/include/X11 ccimake.c
>/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libSystem.dylib load command 6 unknown cmd field
>make[2]: *** [ccimake] Error 1
>make[1]: *** [imake.proto] Error 2
>make: *** [World] Error 2
>###  failed, exit code 2
>Failed: compiling xfree86-base-4.1.0-9 failed

I am _not_ a C programmer and I have a minimal amount of Linux/Unix 
user-level experience, so please be gentle with me! ;-)
