My mistake. Yet, that doesn't make it more likely to reach my hard drive any sooner :p Now, I realize I haven't been very clear with my explanations. So, to summarize: -gcc does not work -most precisely, it seems to be unable to interact properly with /configure files (see further) -re-installation of latest XCode / Apple Dev Tools does not solve the problem -problem shows up with all sources downloaded -I was hoping getting gcc from somewhere else might help (->this thread's title) Here is the typical error msg I get when trying to run ./configure files: ... 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. I already posted a sample config.log on a previous post. This one was issued running ./configure for gnupg-1.4.1 I googled the error msg and found there could be various and numerous reasons for it. But maybe it looks familiar to you. Let me know.
