compiling a c program

I know this is simple but,

I am trying to compile a c program I wrote for class called calculation.c, so i type in:

$ cc calculation.c

Instead of getting a.out like I do on the LINUX computers I get an error,

- bash: cc: command not found

what am I doing wrong?

You do not have the c compiler loaded on your system.

figures,
do you know where i could get one. I'm searching googling but not having much luck.

pardon my ignorance

You can get the developer's tool kit from the Apple Develper's site. Here is a link to the Tools - Xcode.

Cool thanks

Hi,

first of all you must what version of gcc compiler you are using. If suppose a cc package is not installed in your sys,, go to spotlight and search for gcc package..A package will come..Install it..Then use the command..If the package version is gcc-4.0, then use the command gcc-4.0 instead of cc
