I am trying to install lynx / wget on my mac. and installation requires gcc to compile. I have gcc in my /usr/local/bin dir. I see that it is very much there.
spankincubus:Downloads spankincubus$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/local/libexec/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin11.0.0/4.6.1/lto- wrapper
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin11.0.0
Configured with: ../gcc-4.6.1/configure --enable-languages=fortran,c++
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.6.1 (GCC)
But when i run a configure utility for wget, i get an error. Any idea?? I'm not a gcc expert for the record.
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking build system type... i386-apple-darwin11.4.2
checking host system type... i386-apple-darwin11.4.2
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
**configure: error: in `/usr/local/bin/wget-1.14':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details**
This is how my gcc looks
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 91368 Jul 23 2011 gcov
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 462124 Jul 23 2011 cpp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 462060 Jul 23 2011 gcc
Honestly, even though it appears that gcc exists; but does it point to a valid install? It still sounds like it is not installed properly and with an upgrade to Mountain Lion, all your open source tools have been scrubbed away and pushed to Xcode and must be manually installed if necessary.
