Unix 'make', C compiler

[James Board]

I'm new to Mac OS X and I'm having problems installing Perl modules. There's no 'make'. And there's no C compiler. What's going on? Did I miss some basic installation step? How can I install 'make' and 'cc' and anything else I generally need for installing software?

Install XCode.

It's on one of the disks that came with your computer. Or, it's freely available with a developer account (they have a free account option in addition to pay options) at http://developer.apple.com/technologies/xcode.html

What's proper "Thank you" etiquette here? Is it rude if I only click the "Thanks" button, or should I post a reply saying thank you?

The "Thanks" button is more than enough.

Glad we could be of assistance.
