[PPL-devel] Compile error on last versions

[Dario Meloni]

I have deleted everything and tryed various times.
It worked, but i had to set both with environment variables and  
configure script options regarding the compiler.
The compiler name is strange because it is made by MacPorts (mp)  
software distribution to avoid name clash with future update of apple  
gcc version, the problem seems related to not using the default one  
(which doesn't work).
My problem i caused by the outdated distributed gcc
