my third email of the day ;-) compilation on OS X with gcc 4.0 fails. I think it is due to some multiple definitions of symbols. I have searched for fixes to this. It seems to be a very common problem but I did not find any clear answer.
jiho, your work on Inkscape (which is probably greater than mine) is very much appreciated. If you can give a link to this "very common problem", I will endeavour to attach a clear answer.

Thanks a lot! I guess my link to this "very common problem" is just a google search with the error message in it (like: `"os x" multiple definitions ld` which yields 126000 hits on very various subjects). I ended most of the time on forum/mailing list messages with no answer. On the very few occasions there were some hints about using gcc instead of ld. It seems I haven't searched hard enough, so thanks again for the pointer.
What surprises me now it that my fink packages were supposed to be build with gcc 4: I remember having to choose gcc versions when I first installed fink on 10.4 and chose gcc 4. but from fink's website: "The compiler for the 10.4-transitional distribution is complicated: g ++-3.3 is being used along with gcc-4.0." So in fact I this is indeed a compiler version problem, because things are "complicated" in fink 10.4-transitional tree, which I use. I'll wait for some feed back from Michael because it seems that the new non-transitional tree for 10.4 is up now (thought I cannot see any announcement on Fink's website). I'll just reinstall fink, do a fresh svn checkout, update the wiki page with some clues on how to determine which version of gcc is used in fink and stop bothering you all with this.
Thanks again everybody for the various tips.
