Comment(by vash_the__typhoon@…):

 Hey guys,

 OK so now I'm a little bit confused. I have had some issues in the past
 with getting the 'right' gcc compiler that I need on my macbook, and so I
 have used macports to install some other versions of gcc compilers, plus
 which ever ones were already there by default. From macports i've got
 (>ports installed | grep gcc)

  apple-gcc42 @5531_0 (active)
  gcc42 @4.2.3_0 (active)
  gcc_select @0.1_1+darwin_9 (active)


 In /usr/bin i have (ls -l | grep gcc):

 gcc -> /opt/local/var/macports/software/gcc42/4.2.3_0/opt/local/bin/gcc-
 mp-4.2
 gcc-4.0
 i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1
 powerpc-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1


 Can you help me out by telling me what to change? I am rather
 inexperienced with the inner-workings of unix systems but I can navigate
 around and make links etc.. which I hope can fix my problem.

 Cheers,
