Hi Timothy, Many thanks for your e-mail, and my apologies for replying so late. You were quite right - the GCC compiler installation is faulty. I downloaded and reinstalled Xcode, and now am substantially further. Compiling "Hello World" now works :) I'm still running into some sort of compiler problem, though, as it tells me that "C compiler cannot create executables" for the libevent2021 MCA component event.
Looking in the config.log (attached), I see a bunch of routines that apparently cannot compile, while there are others that can. It seems I'm still missing something. If anyone had any ideas I'd be most grateful to hear them. Again, my apologies for asking such basic questions, and many many thanks in advance for any help you can give.
