Re: how to use an upgraded gcc compiler

2007-08-14 Thread Charlie Caroff
The ports version looks to have been abandoned a few versions ago, so I'd
hoped to use the non ports version.  That's the one that calls for gcc 4.0.
Maybe I should try to make the ports version work --

Are you sure about that? The port textproc/ruby-libxml is marked as
broken for ggc 4.2, but other than that doesn't have any particular gcc
requirements in the Makefile.

Re: how to use an upgraded gcc compiler

2007-08-14 Thread Charlie Caroff
The ports version of libxml looks to have been abandoned some time ago, and
the non ports version is much newer (ports: 0.3.2, non-ports -.3.8.4)  It
also seems that libxml-ruby itself is being abandoned in favor of an
upgrade, judging from recent activity on

And, just as I try always to install on FreeBSD with ports, I try to install
all new Ruby on Rails packages using GEM.

I cannot figure out how to install libxml-ruby -- I don't understand the
errors, and I can't find any info about them on the 'net -- my next move is
to try and use the 4.0 gcc compiler I just installed.

Is libxml-ruby different from the textproc/ruby-libxml port?  That
makefile says it doesn't compile with gcc 4.2, but says nothing about
lower versions.

Hey

Non-system gcc versions are usually called with a trailing version number. So 
what you might to try is gcc40 or gcc4 or something similar. Search for 
executables starting with gcc. Something like the above examples should show up.

HTH,

Benjamin
