oh yeah, true for sure. trying to get gdc working on my ibook was like 
ramming my head against a wall. it's frustrating when each failed 
attempt takes an entire day. that's why i made the step by step. if i 
ever have time to read up on how to make a package i'll probably do 
that, and upload it too unless someone beats me to it. no reason for 
people to roll their own compilers imho, especially since some of those 
people are just learning how to write hello world and doing a custom 
build would be basically impossible.

also, i don't feel that xcode 2.5 is really a choice.  ever try to 
compile from the command line with that toolchain?  annoying doesn't 
even begin to describe...
