Which gcc_select
and gcc
are you using? There is one that comes with the system, and one available in MacPorts (I do not use Fink, and I did not find one in their package list). I do not have the MacPorts one installed, but looking at its Portfile, it seems that it is setup to only manage the MacPorts gcc
installations (/opt/local/bin/gcc). The system gcc_select
manages /usr/bin/gcc
.
The system gcc_select
is from the normal Developer Tools (DeveloperToolsCLI.pkg
). Using it to select a gcc
other than the ones provided by the Developer Tools installations is probably “unsupported”. It might work, but it would require installation into (or at least symlinks in) various "system" directories. Try (e.g.) gcc_select -n 4.9
to see what is says it expects.
My iBook G4 running 10.4 with the Developer Tools installed has gcc 4.0.1 as the default.
% gcc --version
powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5370)
Also, my gcc-3.3
is a different build from yours.
% gcc-3.3 --version
gcc-3.3 (GCC) 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1819)
Maybe you have an old and/or incomplete Developer Tools installation. According to the receipts, my gcc-4.0 came from gcc4.0.pkg
. Looking in my archive, I have xcode25_8m2558_developerdvd.dmg
(946768492 bytes), that I downloaded through the Apple Developer Connection a long time ago.
