Sabatier > conrads@cox.net I wanted to note is that you installed lang/gcc46, the development version of the compiler. It gets updated very frequently and you may want this, but it is probably better for most people to install lang/gcc which is the stable version of gcc-4.6. It gets updated only when a new gcc-4.6 version is released, so it does not get updated nearly so often. Posts that depend on USE_FORTRAN or USE_GCC=3D4.6+ will both be happy with lang/gcc, though they will pull in the development version if no gcc-4.6 is installed. --=20 R.
