Can I get some Mac Help?

Yeah, I purchased a Macbook Pro. Was about time, so I’m new at Mac Operating system. Anyhow, I noticed. My Macbook didn’t seem to have PEAR installed.

Quick Google search came up with, use Wget. But guess what. I don’t have Wget installed. Seems that the Curl alternative does work but I wanted to install Wget nonetheless.

Found a quick solution to installing wget but it requires me to compile. Now were getting somewhere right? Okay so get this. I already installed XCode the other day so I have it installed.

As posted somewhere in the comments someone said that you need GCC , and it came on the second disc with your mac. Now this is what I don’t get. Last time I checked, this thing didn’t come with a disc. That’s right. Booted it up, got an installer for Mac OSX and just followed the installer. But I never put a disc in if I ever recall.

Okay, so here I am. Wondering why I don’t have a disc with some sort of tools required to run this stuff. So can please someone help me figure out what I need to do in order for this to work?

What I would love is that Wget and PEAR works. Now I can figure it all out myself if only I knew how to get these build tools. That I read about. My Terminal says this exactly:

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

I already have XCode installed. Now I’m stuck. Anyone in a mood to help me out? Thanks

Woah woah woah, if using curl works with installing pear

I assume that’s what you read…

Why complicate things with installing wget…

which bypasses the need for installing xcode…

My God, it seems so much more complicated than a linux doesn’t it?

sudo apt-get install gcc

The git installer worked, thanks. Now that I got GCC I can try installing the rest.
