Installing gcc4 on Tiger (without Dev Tools)

Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.

I have a Mac Mini, available over Timbuktu, at a remote location. Local lifeforms are PC only, and DVD-Insert incapable! ;-)

I need to get gcc4.0 up and running on the machine. It's running Tiger 10.4.1.

I have copied across the gcc4.0 installer package from my Mac (17Mb aprox) and successfully completed the install on the remote Mac.

I have checked the $PATH variable against my own - seems the same.

However gcc is still an unknown command. :-( I'm missing an alias somewhere I guess. (The remote Mac is set up with tcsh as the default shell in case someone has a fix...)

Any help appreciated.

You need to install Xcode to get gcc4.0. I don't think you can just install gcc4 on its own.
 
You don't but the XCode package includes GCC, all the development headers and so forth in a simple to install package. On with your problem.

What package did you install? On my machine gcc is in /usr/bin did yours end up there?

Also keep in mind that you most likely will not be able to compile much if the system headers are also not installed.
