Re: ncarg on Mac OS X 10.4.8

Sure.

I use the fink (fink.sourceforge.net) verion of g77 (located in
/sw/bin/g77) and it references the gcc libs in the following directory:

/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.0/libgcc.a

The upgrade to Xcode 2.4.2 and gcc 4.0.1 replaced the 4.0.0 directory
with a 4.0.1 directory. The symbolic link can be set up this way:

$ cd /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8
$ ln -s ./4.0.1 ./4.0.0

The result is this:

$ pwd
/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8
$ ls -l
total 16
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Dec 13 05:05 4.0.0 -> 4.0.1
drwxr-xr-x 13 root wheel 442 Dec 13 03:34 4.0.1
