resolved (was new)

Currently, during Cactus configuration without an optionlist on Mac OS, I get

checking for gcc-mp-4.4... no
checking for gcc-mp-4.3... no
checking for gcc-mp-4.2... no
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... yes

I have gcc-mp-4.6, and 4.7 and 4.8 are also available in macports. The configure script should be updated to detect these versions.

Comment (by Roland Haas):

As of git hash 768cb35 "Addressing roland's issues on the PR." of simfactory2 simfactory’s setup command does detect gcc-N and gcc-mp-N and prefers those over plain gcc on Darwin OS (and only there).
