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

configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.1+ and MPFR 2.3.2+.
Try the --with-gmp and/or --with-mpfr options to specify their locations.
Copies of these libraries' source code can be found at their respective
hosting sites as well as at ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/.
See also http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html for additional info.
If you obtained GMP and/or MPFR from a vendor distribution package, make
sure that you have installed both the libraries and the header files.
They may be located in separate packages.
