It's finding cc, so I'm guessing you installed the DevTools; however, did you install them under 10.0.x and not upgrade them with 10.1? The DevTools with 10.0 won't work under 10.1.

thanx for the info. the 10.1 upgrade was free at compusa. how do i get the dev tools upgrade? do i have to purchase it from apple? i can't find it to download anywhere

it's here. You have to sign up for a free account, well worth it. If I remember correctly, about 186 megs.
