Maybe Apple has changed the paths in some Xcode version? I have no
problems on my MBP/10.5 though.
Perhaps an alias from /usr/bin/as would help? Or is there anything
else that FPC needs?
As of Xcode 3.x, you can install multiple versions of Xcode at the
same time on a system. To allow for this, Xcode can install
everything it needs into a a subdirectory, without installing
anything globally on the system (i.e., nothing under /usr, /
var, ..., only things under whatever directory you decide to install
Xcode in).
However, for compatibility with standard unix development
environments and configure/makefile-based source distributions, you
still have the option to also install the command line utilities
(such as automake, autoconf, as, ld, gcc, cpp, ...) globally under /
usr.
Now, I am pretty certain that this is done by default and that this
is only not done if you choose a custom install and deselect that
option. I don't have an Xcode installer lying around to verify that
though.
I've now verified it, and the installer option is called "UNIX
Development Support" and is selected by default. So if anyone reports
this error, tell them to relaunch the Xcode installer and to install
that option (although it's strange that FPC can be installed if Xcode
was installed without that option, because the FPC installer checks
for the existence of /usr/bin/gcc, and that one is not installed
either if you deselect that option).
