problem

[GTFSTBK at aol dot com]

Please help me, I have spent several weeks with absolutely no results and I 
am becoming very frustrated, I require a working gcc and after downloading it 
from your site it I am very disappointed in that it must be compiled to 
install and my problem is my environment lacks a compiler to do this. (the 
authors way of controlling the software)

    All I can tell you is this, suggestion on dealing with the author of the 
software or anyone else is pretty much useless to me, what I require is 
functional 'gcc'. 

    Since I cannot say exactly what my environment is, since it is a stripped 
MachTen derivative, several programs are missing that stop me from upgrading 
or midifying my environment since every time I issue the command 
'./configure' I get the following.

#./configure -v --with-layout=machten

I do have the '.packlist' from the installed apache if it helps, I just need 
to get a working gcc and no idea where to get a binary distribution.

I don't care if I have to try several binaries to find a working one, as long 
as I can get something that is known to work and complete I will be very 
happy.
