Hi, Actually I have another clue. I'm getting the following errors earlier in config.log, regarding unrecognised options -V and -qversion. But the configure script keeps going? configure:3028: /Users/anna/Documents/programs/GCC/GCC/build/./gcc/xgcc -B/Users/anna/Documents/programs/GCC/GCC/build/./gcc/ -B/Users/anna/Documents/programs/GCC/GCC/install/i386-apple-darwin10.7.0/bin / -B/Users/anna/Documents/programs/GCC/GCC/install/i386-apple-darwin10.7.0/lib / -isystem /Users/anna/Documents/programs/GCC/GCC/install/i386-apple-darwin10.7.0/inclu de -isystem /Users/anna/Documents/programs/GCC/GCC/install/i386-apple-darwin10.7.0/sys-i nclude -m64 -V >&5 xgcc: error: unrecognized option '-V' xgcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. configure:3039: $? = 1 configure:3028: /Users/anna/Documents/programs/GCC/GCC/build/./gcc/xgcc -B/Users/anna/Documents/programs/GCC/GCC/build/./gcc/ -B/Users/anna/Documents/programs/GCC/GCC/install/i386-apple-darwin10.7.0/bin / -B/Users/anna/Documents/programs/GCC/GCC/install/i386-apple-darwin10.7.0/lib / -isystem /Users/anna/Documents/programs/GCC/GCC/install/i386-apple-darwin10.7.0/inclu de -isystem /Users/anna/Documents/programs/GCC/GCC/install/i386-apple-darwin10.7.0/sys-i nclude -m64 -qversion >&5 xgcc: error: unrecognized option '-qversion' xgcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated.
