DarwinPorts

[HastaLaVista]

Anyone installed DarwinPorts? 'Need help please.

I'm running Tiger. I've downloaded and installed Darwin Ports 2.1 (from: http://darwinports.com/ ). When I run the "sudo port -d selfupdate," I get the following: (What does this mean?)

...

Hi - it looks as though you need to install the Apple Developer Tools, which includes a C compiler (which is where your errors are coming from, it cannot locate a C compiler). The developer tools should have come on a CD or DVD with your O/S or mac, or you can download them from developer.apple.com (registration required but it's free).
