gcc42 installation problem on snow leopard (while installing opendx)

[comp.softmatter@…]

Hello everyone,

I was trying to install opendx on a newly build Snow Leopard system. However, the installation stops when I it is building gcc42. The error while building gcc42 is posted below. I have the latest version of xcode installed (3.2.1), and the latest updates from Apple. I also updated macports, no help. Any suggestions?
