[gtkmm] Problems compiling gtkmm-2.0.2 on Mac OS X

[Markus Meier <m meier unibas ch>]

Dear all

I have problems compiling gtkmm-2.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.2.3.

Compiler: Apple Computer, Inc. GCC version 1161, based on gcc version 
3.1 20020420 (prerelease)

I use glib2, gtk+2 and libsigc++ provided by the unstable tree of the 
fink distribution:
glib2   2.0.7-1
gtk+2   2.0.9-2
libsigc++       1.0.4-4

The symbols
std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> 
>::assign(char const*, unsigned long)
std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> 
>::insert(unsigned long, char const*, unsigned long)
seem to be multiplely defined during the creation of 
libglibmm-2.0.1.1.1.dylib
I am not sure, if this problem is related to gtkmm or libstdc++.

Any suggestions how to fix the problem are appreciated. Was someone 
able to compile gtkmm on this platform at all (since gtkmm2 is not 
provided by fink)?

Best regards,
Markus
