By default, Mac OS X does not install GCC or anything of that sort. If you want those kinds of goodies, find your 10.4 Tiger install disc and install the Xcode Tools package (which gets you all the standard compilers plus the Xcode developer tools) --- and even the X11 package (which gets you the X Window stuff). If you can't find said install disc, sign up for a free online membership with the Apple Developer Connection and download Xcode straight from Apple. <http://developer.apple.com/> Hopefully their site will figure out that you're using Tiger and will give you the right link to download Xcode 2.5. <http://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/getSoftware?bundleID=19907> Or you can Google for someone else's download of Xcode 2.5, but that's an exercise left for the gentle reader... -- eugene at fsck dot net
