Hi ~suv,

Thank you so much for your answers. Besides answering the questions directly you have also given some really useful tips (like the fact that I can view history of the Wiki -- I have never realized that).

What I did to revert back the gcc setting: I wiped out my MacPorts. Now, on Mavericks "gcc" would be a symlink to clang. Then I installed gcc through macport. So now I have the traditional gcc located in /opt/local/bin that I can use when I need, while "gcc" would still normally symlink to clang. Things seem to be alright now.

I have just two more quick questions (this is a little off topic so let me know if I should move this post to Question instead): in long run I want to develop Inkscape Extension in C++ (because I believe it has more capabilities and speed). In this case, I would still need to install from -devel trunk, correct? In principle, would C++ extension have as much capabilities to do things as Python extension, if not more?

Thank you!
