The best advice I could give to *new* ears is, in this case, "try
installing a package from DarwinPorts:
http://www.darwinports.org/
although they're two versions behind (0.10.8), or from Fink:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/
although their binary package is even *further* behind.
If you want to do anything else, you will have to arrange that there's
an "acceptable C compiler" on the system. It's not installed by
default; you might have it on one of the CD-ROMs that came with your
system, or there might be an installer (go to "Applications" in the
Finder, then, if there's a folder "Installers", go to that folder, and
then go to "Xcode Tools" if there's a folder with that name in
"Installers", then double-click on "Developer.mpkg" if that's in "Xcode
Tools". Then follow the steps the installer gives you. Don't do an
"Easy Install", do a custom install, and make sure the "Developer Tools
Software", "gcc 3.3", "Mac OS X SDK", "Developer Documentation", "BSD
SDK", and "X11 SDK" are all selected. (I don't think the X11 SDK is
installed by default, but you'll need it for Ethereal.)
