Dear Jsilva,
Thanks for your reply.
I am using an iBook with Mac OS version 10.3. I have read the book from O'reilly which says we could use the Terminal for sending and receiving email with Pine, a text-based simple email software in most Unix. The author suggests that we could to get a free copy of Pine from website of Unix to which I did. I then follow the instruction of the book to install Pine with my Terminal. But it doesn't work. Following are the prompt and error messages.

This package must be compiled with GCC 3.3, but you currently have 3.1 selected.
To correct this problem, run the command:
sudo gcc_select 3.3
You may need to install a more recent version of the Developer Tools to be able
to do so.

Ps: Before I installing Pine, I have installed lynx, a text-based web browser, and it works very fine with my iBook. If you need more detail, please drop me a mail at

Many thanks
