Re: Context Minimal Linux installation on MAC Leopard

[Hans van der Meer <hansm@science.uva.nl>]

As far as I could ascertain the compiling problems on MAcOSX 10.5.x  
(Leopard) go away when in the CFLAGS is included an architecture  
parameter, e.g.
-arch ppc
-arch i386
or more specific mcpu=G5 etc.
It seems otherwise the correct ANSI_C header files are not found by  
the gcc compiler.
