There are a lot of pre-compiled binaries available for Mac OS X, but sooner or later you will need to compile something from source. You'll download some gzipped file, unpack it, cd into the directory, and a README will tell you to do "./configure;make && make install"
But it didn't work, did it? That's because Mac OS X doesn't install make or cc or indeed any development tools at all by default.
Fortunately, this is easy to fix. Pop in your install DVD and you'll see a folder called "Xcode Tools". Click on that, install it, and you will now have make, cc and everything else you need to compile that little C code you downloaded.

Xcode i think either comes standard with the next OS for Mac (my friend said he heard that from some site about Mac stuff) or already is available.
