Panther, Fink has been updated to understand the newer gcc 3.3 compiler. In
order to be able to support users on both 10.2 (Jaguar) and 10.3 (Panther), we
are requiring all users to install the latest gcc 3.3 update (August 2003
Updater, and the Panther XCode tools, respectively). You will get this warning
if you installed the earlier XCode beta updater for Mac OS X 10.2's December
2002 developer tools. If you're on 10.2, the command:</p><pre>gcc

<div class="question"><p><b>Q4.1: I just upgraded to 0.16.0 and it tells
me "Your version of the gcc 3.3 compiler is out of date." What do I
do?</b></p></div>
<div class="answer"><p><b>A:</b> As of the release of Panther, Fink has
been updated to understand the newer gcc 3.3 compiler. In order to be able to
support users on both 10.2 (Jaguar) and 10.3 (Panther), we are requiring all
users to install the latest gcc 3.3 update (August 2003 Updater, and the
Panther XCode tools, respectively). You will get this warning if you installed
the earlier XCode beta updater for Mac OS X 10.2's December 2002 developer
tools. If you're on 10.2, the command:</p><pre>gcc --version</pre><p>should
tell you what version you have. As of October 24th, 2003, we require build 1493
or higher.</p><p>10.2 users can download the August 2003 Updater from <a
href="http://developer.apple.com/";>Apple Developer Connection</a> (free
registration required).</p><p>10.3 users should upgrade to a Panther-compatible
developer tools release (i.e. XCode). A CD with XCode should have been provided
with your Panther media.</p></div>
