trying to install wget and getting compile error

just installed gcc 4.2 from developer tools. that install seemed to
go ok. did not install entire developer tools package, just gcc, though,
if that makes a difference. says no compiler available.

any help is appreciated. pretty much a n00b, here.

thanks,
BabaG

Hi.

I think that you should install everything -- just in case.
Also, you can try to compile a simple C program ("Hello World!" maybe) to see if everything works as expected.
