  You need to install the Developer Tools. They come with all Macs, but aren't factory installed on all the consumer models. They are included on the Software Restore DVD that should have come with the mini. It wouldn't be a bad idea to ensure the BSD package is fully installed as well. That is done through the System Software Install/Update portion of the DVD.

  For some reason I had the impression that OSX came with the whole Gnu suite installed? Am I missing something, or am I post to download the compiler from somewhere?

  Isn't PHP default on OS X?

  There is a simple way to get a the built-in PHP to work but i do not remember it. Google "PHP OS X" and see what you get. It baisically involves using terminal and emacs to uncomment two lines in some config file then restarting apache (Web sharing)

  Yes, it's very simple, IIRC. Search for config.httpd on the system, open with TextEdit, find the PHP section, remove the comments, save, and then stop and start Web Sharing from sysprefs.

  The file is
  
  /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
  
  but it's invisible from the default finder setup. Use the Go->Go to Folder... menu command to access it from the finder, or just use the terminal.

  Well I found the lines for the httpd.conf refering to PHP. Thanks for the tip. (Even though I just found the xtools and install gcc) I'm sure I'll use them sometime.
  
  
  
  
  
  Thanks again!
