I'm not yet sure if this is the problem (the student I was helping scooted off for the day). 

But, I did read the below messages and I think what might not have been clear was that we might have had two gcc installations and it was imperative to get the Xcode one, not the macports one (unless it's the apple-fied macports option). 

Perhaps just an extra line citing that as an example?

And if it breaks they come here. If something popped up and said, *make sure you have xcode gcc installed*, it might be better for all involved.
