Installing Developer Tools

Unix in a Nutshell, 4th Edition (2005) says this:

"1.2.3. Mac OS X

Unix-style development tools (compiler, make) are included as part of the larger Xcode Tools package . Boxed distributions of Mac OS X include an Xcode Tools CD. The easiest way to install the tools is to insert that CD into your CD drive.

If your version of Mac OS X is that which came with your hardware, you won't have an Xcode Tools CD. Instead, click on Developer.mpkg in /Applications/Installers/Developer Tools. Doing so installs the development tools."

My OS X (10.6.6) came with my hardware but I don't have any Installers directory. Is there somewhere else I can install these tools? Also, is there something better for me to be reading than Unix in a Nutshell?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.3), Time Capsule
