I saw from your headers that you were using Mac OS X for an Intel
machine (if you're posting with the same machine that you use to
develop). If that's the case, you can't use gcc 3.3, only gcc 4.0
or later (which should be the default).

What does that mean? What is cc1? (It's not the filename of my
program.)

cc1 is the name of the actual c compiler that gcc invokes in its
execution.

try gcc --version.
If you dont get a version info then you might not have installed gcc
on your system or your PATH is not set up correctly.

It's part of the compiler. That's why it says there's an installation
problem: part of the compiler is missing.

Your best bet is probably to reinstall the "Xcode" software from your
installation CDs.

Why don't earlier versions work (serious quesion) ?

(Which leads to) How did that earlier version get installed on his system?

(And note further that) No C compiler is installed by default in Mac OSX.
You have to install it yourself. And you might not do it right (since
no instructions [other than what you can find for yourself on the net
and newsgroups] exist).

No doubt earlier versions of gcc could work, but Apple obviously
didn't distribute gcc for Intel back when they were using only PPC
processors.

>(Which leads to) How did that earlier version get installed on his system?

My guess is that it got copied from another, PPC, Mac, or was installed
from a PPC distribution by mistake. cc1 probably appears to be missing
because it's looking for one in /usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9
and that directory doesn't exist, only a PPC one.

Normally you just install the Xcode package, which is trivial.

I would guess that they didn't backport the code for that ABI. Anyway,
Only 3.4 (ppc) and 4.0.1 (ppc+intel) are included with Tiger (10.4),
and Leopard only has 4.0.1 (ppc+intel) AFAICT.

(Which leads to) How did that earlier version get installed on his system?

gcc 3.3 must have been installed in some unofficial way because Apple
never released that compiler for Intel macs. I don't think even fink
or macports have it. I would guess it was installed manually (or
copied from somewhere else), but I can only guess.

(And note further that) No C compiler is installed by default in Mac OSX.

no instructions [other than what you can find for yourself on the net
and newsgroups] exist).

Installing the developer tools is very straightforward . You just
double-click a .pkg

I get 'installation problem, cannot exec cc1plus' if I try and compile
something.C instead of .c. But the installation is fine.

cc1 anyway seems to be hidden some 5 levels deep in a subdirectory (on my
3.4.5). Maybe it just can't find it!

(It would be useful if it reported the full path of whatever file it can't
find, then any problem can be sorted out instantly just by checking out that
location.)

How did you install the compiler? And why did you install such an old
compiler?

Presumably you don't have the C++ part of gcc installed.

To clarify, many Unix/Linux compiler suites assume that files with a
suffix of uppercase C are C++ while files with lowercase c are c.

I found a .pkg under /Library/Receipts/gcc-4.0.pkg. I clicked it and
told it to install it, but then says an error occurred during the
installation. I think I'll just follow the installation instructions
at the GCC site.

By the way, if you don't mind the curiosity, may I ask how in heaven
did you get at my headers? (interesting!)

You should re-install your Developer Tools from your Tiger or Leopard
DVD (or download them from Apple's site and install the most recent ones).

told it to install it, but then says an error occurred during the

The receipts are not the installation packages. You can't reinstall
your package from a receipt. (I also never understood their purpose)

I just peeked at the headers of your message with my NNTP client
(C-u g, in gnus).

The executable called 'gcc' is just a "driver" program that invokes
several other separate programs in succession to compile. In this case
the driver program is telling you that it cannot find one of these
necessary programs.

The most likely reason is your installation is somehow broken. Why not
try a fresh reinstall before pondering further?

I apologize if this is not directly related to C (in that case, I'd
also appreciate some pointers :)

I think that's like the old c1. The old second pass compiler. There was c0
c1 and c2 which was optional and for optimization.
