Catalina, fink, …
I was quite enthusiastic to install Catalina right after I read the notification of its availability on my MacBook. I installed it right away, but upon completion I got aware of that the fink installation at /sw was gone, because Apple made the root directory read-only. The fink project suggests installing fink at /opt/sw. Installing…

problems with fink and latest/updated Xcode on Mac OS X – recurring problem with gcc_selected
http://fink.9193.n7.nabble.com/Can-t-bootstrap-on-10-8-4-td43215.html search for gcc_selected on that page! search for Services.pm, rather than for perlmod/Services.pm ! this actually got fixed before 2014-07-09, but there is still a critical issue with running “/usr/bin/gcc –version” – run it on the command line, and you will be able to fix the arising problem yourself!
