Are you sure you don't? You should have gcc2 here: /usr/bin/gcc2 What happens if you type "which gcc2" at a command prompt? The machine I was working on had a clean install of 10.2, an upgrade to 10.2.4, and the latest developer tools. (You have installed the developer tools, right?) I got 5.6.1 to install cleanly (where by "cleanly", I mean with the small handful of known test failures mentioned in the above articles). As per the aforementioned message to this list from Errol Lewthwaite, all I needed to do was follow these instructions: http://duke.usask.ca/~dalglb/macosx/Perl_5.6.html *and* add -Dcc=gcc2 to the Configure switches: sudo sh Configure -des -Dfirstmakefile=GNUmakefile \ -Dldflags="-flat_namespace" -Dcc=gcc2 Hope this helps. -- John Gruber | Daring Fireball: Mac Punditry and Curmudgeonry [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://daringfireball.net
