I seem to be having a problem installing gcc4 unstable on my 10.3.9
machine. I ran selfupdate, then installed some other packages. Now I am
trying to put gcc4 on the machine in an effort to get rid of the
warning that my current compiler is known to give errors with C++. The
best that I can figure out is that it needs to access some java
libraries and cannot. I tried "fink dumpinfo gcc4" but I was not able
to figure anything out.

you have a couple of issues.

1. the DL_Info issue is probably this:
   http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/comp-general.php?#dlfcn-from-oo
2. the complaints about a bad compiler mean you need to install the
   november gcc updater from ADC at http://developer.apple.com/

Thanks to Ben and Martin for the heads up on the dl* files. I did get the following hits:

ls /usr/local/include
dlfcn.h

and

ls  /usr/local/lib/
/usr/local/lib/libdl.dylib

Sorry to make you guys quote out of the FAQ. I looked at those lines in the output but I just did not know how to read them. I guess I need to find a good resource or approach for learning to decode these things. If anyone has recommendations please feel free to enlighten me.

As for the november gcc update, I have installed "november2004gccupdater_7k579.dmg" several times but I ran it again just in case there is something that I could have done to make the system forget. Not sure how that could happen but I have managed to do stranger things. Sure enough the error has gone away. Go figure! :-0

Now I have to wonder how many of the programs that I have installed have been affected by the C++ errors. What would be the least painful way to check through 1k+ installed programs on two machines to see which ones need to be recompiled to clear up the C++ error issue? Ditto for any installs that would have benefited from having gcc4 available.

Thanks again

Lorenz
