I don't really understand the need to install a different compiler, the gcc-4.x that ships with Xcode-3.0 is good enough for most Mac OS X developers, and has quite a number of APPLE_LOCAL patches that you will not find in upstream fsf gcc. > > So, I had not only the header problem, but also the compiler version and the > OS is different as well.

It is also possible to do this with gcc env vars LIBRARY_PATH and CPATH. Does this answer your question?
