1) I'm trying to install the latest stable version of GCC. Since gcc42 downloads from a 'prereleases' directory, I will focus on gcc41. Note that I've tried to install every available version of gcc and none of them have installed for me. 2) The target computer is an iMac with a 2 GHz Core Duo processor. 3) My eventual goal is to install R for statistical computing. 4) Terminal output from my last session follows my signature. 5) I'd appreciate some help. Thanks!
