Re: compiler

[Theodore C. Belding]

Hi-
One thing that would cause that error is if the Objective C portions of 
gcc aren't installed correctly.  Make sure that all of 
gcc's languages were installed, not just C/C++. If you don't specify the 
LANGUAGES macro during installation, this should happen automatically.  
Full info on this is in the INSTALL file in the gcc distribution (as 
I'm sure you know already :). Hope that helps. 
-Ted
