I'm trying to compile some KDE4 packages from macports and am running into a problem with kdelibs4. After some googling I found various places which mention the error I am getting, and all suggest using gcc 4.2 instead of 4.0

So, I want to try this, but cannot figure out how I am suppose to tell macports to use the newer gcc version (I have the latest Xcode instead, so have both versions available).

Can someone point me to some instructions on how to change the gcc version that is used ?

You would add the line "configure.compiler gcc-4.2" to the kdelibs4 portfile.

gcc-4.2 is only provided in Xcode 3 and up, so this would only work on Leopard and up.

Since you're likely not the only one experiencing whatever issue it is, you should file an issue in our issue tracker explaining what the problem is and suggesting this fix, if it works for you. Then the maintainer of the port can evaluate it and hopefully include it in the portfile so you and everyone else can benefit from it.
