    Did you install the included Dev Tools? If not try intstalling the developer tools off the cd that came with the OS.

    Yeah, building gcc yourself is only slightly more fun than sticking a fork in your eye. I've done it several times, on various platforms, and it sucks mightily.



    Install the Developer Tools CD, and you'll have everything.

    The developer tools may also be installed from Apple's website, but it's a huge download - like 400MB or so.

    look in '/applications/installs/developer tools' I think or use finder to search for to search for developer.mpkg.



    Something like that.

    On some installations the installer for the Dev Tools is in the Applications folder. I think this happens when your machine ships with two DVDs rather than 4 CDs.



    Take a look.
