Re: [Swarm-Support] MacOS X Binaries Available

[Jason Alexander]

This is wonderful.

Before downloading and installing the package, I would like to know how 
this will affect my current development environment.  Will it replace 
my current gcc compiler with gcc3.3, or will it place gcc3.3 someplace 
"safe" where it will only be used when compiling Swarm?  Also, is it 
possible to uninstall the package?

I ask because, as much as I'd like to be able to compile & run swarm 
apps on my PowerBook, I don't want to have to completely mangle my 
development environment to do so.

Thanks,

Jason
