Hm, I had read these threads, but I understood that Charles installed
some non-official cctools. I installed Xcode,
november2004gccupdater_7k579.dmg and cctools-528.5.dmg. I thought, also
the latter is an official update by Apple, isn't it?

Well, yes, "official" in a certain sense. Doesn't mean bug-free. That's why I wrote the above. Why do you think the Nov2004 updater for the "official" Xcode-1.5 is necessary? Maybe we should put up another warning on the Fink home page concerning these cctools...


I probably
installed it because someone recommended it, when something wasn't
working, but to be honest, I don't remember exactly.

So I have to reinstall Xcode 1.5 and the November update? Can I safely
leave out the cctools-528.5 without breaking anything else? Though I
don't remember why I installed it, I think there was a good reason.

One reason was that you need these tools if you want to use gcc-4 and other compilers from that series, like gfortran. In the meantime, there are now Fink packages for gcc-4 and for g95 and gfortran based on gcc-4 that use Fink's own versions of the new cctools (borrowed from opendarwin, hence called odcctools, and freed of some of the bugs). The advantage is that this doesn't destroy the standard tools in /usr/bin.
