0.6.0 fails to build via NPM on OSX about node-bignum HOT 3 CLOSED

I do have several other gcc versions installed via MacPorts too.

Yep, that's the problem. It's trying to compile with GCC, but since you're on OS X, node-gyp thinks it needs the parameters that Apple XCode's compiler uses.

I'm not a big mac expert, but I would assume the solution is something like uninstalling GCC, or making sure cc1plus points to Apple's compiler.

Ah, that got me on the right track; MacPorts provides a gcc-switcher utility, and I was able to set it to the required version.

For other Mac users in this situation:

• Run port select --list gcc to see what your current GCC choice is.
• Run sudo port select gcc apple-gcc42 to set default to Apple's
• Install node-bignum
• (optional) set your gcc back to whatever it was in the first step.

Awesome, thanks for checking back with the solution! 👍
