Building from source problems.

<snip>

But back to your problem -- in order to support the optimizations (-
mtune=core2) you want to switch to gcc-4.2 -- you can do that by
typing "sudo gcc_select 4.2" in a Terminal window.

When I do that I get:

The following is missing from your gcc 4.2 compiler installation.
Reinstall the 4.2 compiler, or use another release.
  /usr/bin/gcc-4.2
  /usr/bin/g++-4.2
  /usr/include/gcc/darwin/4.2/stdint.h
  /usr/include/gcc/darwin/4.2/

So I need to (re-?) install gcc-4.2.  How?

The most current version of Xcode for 10.4 is Xcode 2.5. You can get
it from
http://connect.apple.com/
Login or create a (free) ADC account if you don't have one, then click
on Downloads and then Developer Tools (on the right-hand side under
Download). Then you get a long list of all tools - search for Xcode
2.5 - download and install.
Again, something along those lines in the FAQ :P

Checking on what I've got (following your instructions) I
	found that I have version 2.5 of Xcode.

	That appears to be the latest version of Xcode that runs on
	Tiger.  The web page indicates that Xcode 2.5 dates from
	November 2007 which was about when I first installed Xcode.
	So re-installing Xcode 2.5 won't do any good.

	(On Friday I mistakenly tried installing Xcode 3.1.3 or something
	like that, but of course that won't/doesn't/didn't work on Tiger.)

	So how do I get gcc-4.2 for my OS? (Mac OS X 10.4.11).  Is this
	possible?
