macOS Catalina does not have gcc for Python libraries

Question

After upgrading to Catalina, my old Anaconda was not working anymore. I reinstalled it. Now it is located in different place: ~/opt/anaconda3 .

Some of the libraries I use require gcc . That does not work either. Previously, it was possible to download gcc-xx-bin.tar and do sudo tar -xvf gcc-xx-bin.tar -C / but that is also not working.

xcode-select --install is still doing fine.

Can anyone, please, give a step-by-step how-to get gcc running on the latest macOS?

Would brewer do a better job?

New OS versions are constantly changing things and that makes running programming environments very hard...
