What does: $ ldconfig -r | grep gcc_s tell you now that you've removed that compiler? You should get something like: $ ldconfig -r | grep gcc_s 30:-lgcc_s.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 i.e. It's looking in the system libs. If it still tells you that the lib is under /usr/local/lib, then there's your problem & you have to regenerate a fresh hints file, I think. The problem is that I've never (IIRC) installed a compiler from ports & I don't know how it screws with the compiler toolchain & hence how to put it right. Hence, I've cc'd this to hackers@ in the hope that someone who is more familiar with the toolchain can give advice. Regards, -- Frank Contact info: http://www.shute.org.uk/misc/contact.html
