Which version of Xcode do you have, -the latest?

This might be part of the problem?

Seems like the latest version isn't going to give you gcc (where previous versions did)

Edit 1: Go to Xcode>preferences>downloads and there should be an option to download 'Command Line Tools' I have no idea if this is the answer, but if you're running the latest version of Xcode I think you may have to do this.

Edit 2:

    Is the gcc C compiler installed? Run Terminal from your Applications/Utilities folder and type which gcc to find out. If /usr/bin/gcc isn't returned, you will need to...

So I was not getting /usr/bin/gcc returned in the command line with the latest version of Xcode on Mountain Lion. I performed the step above and it worked. That string is now returned.

BAM. Right there. A lack of GCC was certainly a problem. Once I did that it did grand. Thanks very much.

I think we only took the first name. Klein and I both got compiler errors after loading and finding gcc. The osx install instructions are seriously dated, I'll say that. Thundara has some nice things to try with directory paths...
