Another reason to stay away from Fink - and possibly the reason I was
getting build errors on my MacTel (was using Fink more extensively on that
machine - oops).

Great to know you have an updated version on the way!

Don't know on the MacTel; on the PPC I have:

Xcode 2.2
powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: no input files

Let me know if there is anything I can try on my machines to help you out.
Currently only have the PowerBook G4 but should be back at the Mac Mini
later on...

Thanks!!!
