[Fink-users] here's the circular problem that got me in trouble

Title: here's the circular problem that got me in trouble

I found it again!

postgresql is the package requesting  /usr/local/lib/libgcc.dylib

and I got myself in trouble earlier this week because I found how to get it

now I'm back to where I was before

and postgresql got updated again... it built successfully but wouldn't install

weirdly because it wants  /usr/local/lib/libgcc.dylib

why would it want it to install but not need it to build???

here's the transcript...

pkg postgresql-ssl  version ###
pkg postgresql-ssl  version 7.2.2-2
The following package will be installed or updated:
 postgresql-ssl
The following additional package will be installed:
 postgresql-ssl-shlibs

there's some gnu-darwin discussion out there

that describes how to compile your own  /usr/local/lib/libgcc.dylib

from  /usr/local/lib/libgcc.a

and I was stupid and I tried it...

that led me to a bunch of linker problems

that Martin resolved by guessing it was there

and telling me to remove it

The most probable cause for your problem (apart from an incomplete installation of the dev tools) is that some other library takes the place of /usr/lib/libgcc.a (which is in reality /usr/lib/gcc/darwin/3.1/libgcc.a).

Look if you don't have a /usr/local/lib/libgcc.dylib or something similar (run "locate libgcc.") from an installation of gnudarwin or similar. If yes, move it out of the way while you are compiling fink things.

apparently you're psychic... /usr/local/lib/libgcc.dylib

any time I do anything related to GNU-Darwin
it destroys my computer

GNU-Darwin sucks... why are they there?

is that why the GNU-Darwin logo is the devil?

I find I'm screwed whenever I take even the slightest advice from them

what's the deal?
