Getting Warning while installing flink on MacBook "There is no C compiler on your system"

Question

To get support I am installing fink on my MacBook Pro. After execute bootstrap script I am getting following error log

Checking package... looks good (fink-0.35.1).
Checking system... i386-apple-darwin12.4.0
This system is supported and tested.
Distribution: 10.8
Architecture: x86_64
Checking cc... not found.
ERROR: There is no C compiler on your system. Make sure that the Developer
Tools are installed.

I didn't find gcc in /usr/bin/ directory.

After reading here, I am guessing x-code provide default support for gcc compiler.

any one have idea what I should to get support of fink or if have any other way to get support of apt-get.

Answer 1

• First, you need to install Xcode and its command line tools to get the gcc compiler
• Make sure that you have working version of gcc in your /usr/bin directory
• Create a symbolic link cc from installed gcc in /usr/bin
