OK:  I "reinstalled" Developer Tools December 2002 version (see below), and
gcc now exists, and Numeric
 compiled and installed nicely.

 Now:  visual won't compile.
 I did ./configure --prefix=/sw

 and CPPSFLAGS does = -I/sw/include.

 but make quits with.

 CXX/Include/CXX_Objects.h: At global scope:
 CXX/Include/CXX_Objects.h:968: no class template named
 `random_access_iterator'
    in `std'
 CXX/Include/CXX_Objects.h:1079: no class template named
 `random_access_iterator
    ' in `std'
 make[1]: *** [arrow.lo] Error 1
 make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1


This same error was described on the list back in August 2002, but no answer
was given.
The author suggested something about gcc 3.1 vs an earlier version ... can't
comment on that.

I'm not entirely convinced that Developer Tools installed correctly.  I
first installed "package.pkg", which I thought was going to do the job.  It
sure took a long time, but gcc didn't work.   I had to drill into the
subdirectory and install "DevTools.pkg" (or something like that) to get the
compiler running.   There are 4 or 5 other pkg's in that directory.  Should
I install them all individually, perhaps?

 Any takers?

 Thanks,
 Gary
