I just tried the command you suggested. What is it supposed to do? All it did apparently was erase Fink. No improvements apart from that. Here is the kind of error I get when trying to compile source (in this case ./configure from gnupg-1.4.1) ... checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. Here is the config.log This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake. It was created by gnupg configure 1.4.1, which was generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. Invocation command line was $ ./configure ## --------- ## ## Platform. ## ## --------- ## hostname = Meego.local uname -m = Power Macintosh uname -r = 7.9.0 uname -s = Darwin uname -v = Darwin Kernel Version 7.9.0: Wed Mar 30 20:11:17 PST 2005; root:xnu/xnu-517.12.7.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC /usr/bin/uname -p = powerpc /bin/uname -X = unknown /bin/arch = unknown /usr/bin/arch -k = unknown /usr/convex/getsysinfo = unknown hostinfo = Mach kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 7.9.0: Wed Mar 30 20:11:17 PST 2005; root:xnu/xnu-517.12.7.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Kernel configured for a single processor only. 1 processor is physically available.
