    I have downloaded the source code and tried to build Qt from scratch. Both the versions failed to installed (5.0.2 & 4.8.4). I have a mac snowleopard (v 10.6.8, 64 bit). Recently I have updated gcc using macports and redirected gcc to gcc4.7 (using: sudo port select --set gcc mp-gcc47). Not sure if this broke something in Xcode. I have Xcode version 3.2.2. Can anyone help me and point out what the problem is. Here's is the error message for 5.0.2:

      Update: It also does not compile with gcc 4.2 (Xcode version). I will appreciate any lead in this. Thanks.
