I just went through this last night. :^)
Good to know I'm in such illustrious company! (I frequent DaringFireball--really enjoy it!)
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?)
Yup. Right after the install. And which gcc2 informed me that I do indeed have gcc2 right where you said it should be! /usr/bin/gcc2
Yesterday when I came across the notes about using gcc2, I did 'gcc2 -v' in the shell and got nothing. And I did try configuring with the -Dcc=gcc2 switch, but I still got the same error.
Since yesterday I've upgraded from OS X 10.2.1 to 10.2.4, and I replaced hints/darwin.sh with Wilfredo Sanchez' October 2002 version. I also omitted the "perl -i.bak -p -e 's|Local/Library|Library|g' hints/darwin.sh line, thinking Mr. Sanchez had taken this into account. (I tried comparing the differences in BBEdit between the stock darwin.sh and Mr. Sanchez' version to see if indeed he had, but I'm still learning how to read both the "perl -i.bak ...." line and the sh files.)
My skills still need lots and lots of polishing, so I'm pretty sure I'm responsible for yesterday's failure--though I thought I had nailed down the gcc thing when I couldn't get a version number for gcc2 and I got the same compile error when I used the gcc2 flag. Live and learn, eh? :)
Today everything worked fine the first time and I now get "This is perl, v5.6.1 built for darwin" when I perl -v. Joy!
Now on to the perl modules (DBI, DBD::Pg and others via CPAN) and see if I can't get
Movable Type to work with Postgresql! The adventure continues.
Hope this helps.
Definitely did. Reassured me that it was possible and taught me the which command! (I am learning a lot these days! And the list archives have been really helpful.) Thanks for your help, John, and all of you who've posted other tips that got me this far.
