Hi Erik,
I think the standard recommendation here would actually be gcc44 since
it is more mature, but I have compiled using gcc45 on my machine
(admittedly running MacOS 10.5, *not* 10.6) and it seems to work
fine. Definitely install the gcc_select package, so that you can
easily switch been linking to the "real" GNU or the Apple-provided
compilers when the need arises. Finally (and I think someone already
suggested this), I strongly recommend that you check out the "AMBER on
Mac" website run by Mengjuei and others: http://
amberonmac.blogspot.com/. The installation guides on that site have
been pretty much foolproof in my experience.
Best,
Paul
