Hi,

I have a Macbook running 10.5.4, and I want to run this:
http://alioth.debian.org/projects/minicom/ on it.

I have downloaded the source and run the ./configure in Terminal, and
it runs through the pre-stage checks OK but then fails on:

"configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $path"

and then pukes

I assume that I am missing a compiler, or at least one that the
program can use. What do I have to do?

Run 'which cc' on the command line. Most likely it'll come back with a
message stating that it can't find 'cc'.

This is what it looks like if you do have the software development tools
installed:

timo-geuschs-imac:~ timogeusch$ which cc
/usr/bin/cc
timo-geuschs-imac:~ timogeusch$ cc -version
i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1: no input files

The Mac OS X DVD contain the installers for the software development
tools aka 'Xcode', just install it and you'll have the C, Objective C
and C++ compilers.
