I have a colleague with a machine running 10.4.11. I can sucessfully install the Appropriate fink binary, but when I try to run:
fink selfupdate ..or.. sudo fink install glib2-dev glib netpbm openmotif3
It fails with the following error:
Building Dependency Tree...

Under Mac OS X 10.4.11, Fink must be bootstrapped or updated with gcc 4.0,
however, you currently have gcc 3.3 selected. To correct
this problem, run the command:
sudo gcc_select 4.0
You may need to install a more recent version of the Developer Tools
(Apple's XCode) to be able to do so.
/sw/bin/dpkg: error processing fink (--install):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255
Errors were encountered while processing:
fink
### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package fink-0.29.9-31
If I try to run sudo gcc_select 4.0 I get the following error message:
usage: gcc_select [-n] [-force] [2 | 3 | 3.x] [-h | --help] [-v | --version]
[-l | --list] [-root]
Invalid argument (4.0).
Has anyone else run into a similar problem. I realize 10.4 won't be supported for much longer but for the time being they do not want to update their machine. I have installed the from Install Disc 1.
