gcc42, gcc43, gcc44 won't compile on Snow Leopard - Configure Error checking for correct version of mpfr.h

[hackdefendr (HackDefendr)]

I've tried and tried and tried .. nothing I do works. GCC 4.2, 4.3, nor 4.4 will build on my Snow Leopard. I have even resorted to starting over, freshly installed Macports 1.8.2. No luck.

I've searched all over the web...not one single educated post about this error. I found a really lazy patch, that did nothing for the Stable branch of Ports.

Attached is the output from: port -v -d install gcc44
