port looks for a library, libgcc_s.1.dylib, that does not exist

[mvolaski@…]

Just installed darwinports to a machine running 10.3.8

port sync complains

dyld: /usr/bin/tclsh can't open library: /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

This is because our installer on the dmg isn't for Mac OS X 10.3 yet. We should have an installer on a dmg for Mac OS X 10.3 before the end of this week (i'm actually testing it).

If you're in a hurry, and feel comfortable with sources, you can manually build darwinports from sources. All the required steps to achieve this are on the darwinports documentation.

Sorry for the inconvenience, our webpages will be updated to inform that the current installer only runs on Mac OS X 10.4 or newer.

For the little history, "/usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib" is bundled with gcc-4.0, not with earlier versions.
