Anyone have experience with installation and compiling of programs in Terminal (MacOSX), i'm requesting guidance/an education.

Did some more digging and it wasn't Comparisonics but a program called Soundmosaic: http://awesame.org/soundmosaic/ (listen to the sample, neeto)

Have run the ./configure of soundmosaic and getting:

$ ./configure && make
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

The gawk, mawk, nawk i'm not sure how to address. (probably need to install the recommended Audio File Library first) The C compiler seems to be the primary problem. Guessing I need to re-install MacOS's coder software. Found some mentions of BSD, but those were years old, and not part of the install discs of Snow Leopard (10.6) If I install Xcode will that provide the C compiler? Any kind of tips welcomed.
