Hi there,

I am trying to instal MD5deep from the terminal and get this error.
I have Xcode installed, which I think has a C compiler.
How con I point the instal ./config file to see an acceptable compiler?
Or is there some other way to do this?
Thanks!

Xcode should have set everything up properly when it was installed including symlinks. It's possible that something went wrong during the install - some people around here have had issues with GCC not being found. If you execute the following command, what does it print back?

which gcc

gcc: Command not found.

GCC then is either not installed or is not in your PATH. The simple solution would be to reinstall XCode unless you want to take a look and see if it actually was installed. Take a look in /Developer/usr/bin and check to see if there is a version of gcc installed there. If it is in fact there (the binary will be named gcc-X.X where X.X is the version number), you can quickly symlink it to /usr/bin:

sudo ln -s /Developer/usr/bin/<name of gcc version you want to use> /usr/bin/gcc

just reinstalled XCode...ran this...

gonna try the MD5deep config again

It's two dashes, not equal signs. That said, it looks as if GCC is installed and ready to go.

well...it looks like it loaded...but get errors when I try to use it...
trying to do what they say on their website -

Computing hashes

By default, md5deep generates MD5 hashes for each input file, displaying the full path information for each file:

md5deep should be a command right?
its really a folder

this is what I am using as guide

Getting Started with md5deep

Might I suggest that you use something like MacPorts. Once you have that installed, all you have to do is execute the following to update the ports:

sudo port sync

and install md5deep:

sudo port install md5deep

That will download it and install it along with the dependencies.

thanks...trying that now...

can you tell me why I need to do that?
just curious why this is soooo incredibly difficult!

Thank you for all of your help too....

well...this sucks...

well...finally some good news....but not enough...

Why do they say to use this line of code if md5deep is not a command?

What else could be going on here?
This really is sucking.....

thanks again...just can't see why the docs are so careless....
