OK. So I installed gcc using pkg install gcc49, but when I did gmake on 
another project's gnu makefile, it fails with 'gmake: gcc: Command not 
found' I tried creating an alias for gcc, but got the same error. Is 
there some trick to making make think gcc49 is gcc or do I need to go 
create symlinks for all of the gwhatever49 files in /usr/local/bin? 
Which by the way already had gcc48, sheesh.

Thanks,
