 Snow Leopard 10.6.7 [[br]]
 MacPorts: 1.9.2 [[br]]
 XCode: 4.02

 While trying to install gcc44, I receive a build error. This is a clean
 install of xcode and macports.

 Last part of log:
 {{{
 :info:build checking for iconv declaration...

 size_t *inbytesleft, char * *outbuf, size_t *outbytesleft);

     while executing

     (procedure "portbuild::build_mai

     invoked from within
 "$procedure $targetname"
 }}}
 I have tried gcc43 and gcc45 with same results. Any help is greatly
 appreciated.

 Replying to [comment:5 ryanopolis@…]:
 > My suspicion is that something in MacPorts is configured to look in
 root/usr instead of opt/local/usr. Does that sound accurate to you?

 No; in particular "opt/local/usr" doesn't make sense. "/usr" is a prefix
 into which various core system files are installed, by Mac OS X and Xcode.
 "/opt/local" is a prefix into which MacPorts and its ports install their
 files. Most ports installed with MacPorts need to access some headers and
 libraries from prefix /usr, and many need to access some headers and
 libraries from prefix /opt/local. There is nothing to configure to make
 this happen; this is just how things work. It ought to just work. We do
 not understand why it is not working for you.

 > If you don't want to answer my questions farther than 'it works for me',
 would you suggest a forum where I could post this and get a more robust
 response?

 I am not a gcc compilation expert so it's not that I don't want to answer
 your questions further, it's that I do not know the answers. If the
 MacPorts gcc maintainer, to whom this ticket is assigned, has time to
 investigate, he might respond here. If not, you could try contacting the
 gcc developers directly. You mentioned that you experienced the same
 trouble with gcc43 and gcc45; you should probably also try gcc46 first
 before reporting the problem upstream.
