Error 1 and Error 2 the rest I can't remember.
But there are some postings on the web about this issue.
4.2.3 compiles without problems.
But I would need some more knowledge, how to set that stuff up correctly
on Leopard and I couldn't find a how to (for dummies ;-)

actually in this case I need 10.5 only.
The box is a Leopard Server and I need to compile only stuff like
Postfix, ClamAV etc.

For development I use XCode sometimes, mainly 4D - no terminal stuff ;-)
But of course I'd like to know the procedure, so that I could update gcc
with a newer version on my will.

as far as I can tell it did it by itself, but only partly.
So there are obviously some gotchas, because when I run ./configure for
ClamAV the new compiler is not recognized.

no I just go to the downloaded source code, run configure with some
options, make and make install.
Nothing special, just the standard procedure.


Thanks and all the best
