Hi Andrew,

I ran into this problem as well and here is how I fixed/hacked it:
OSX Lion, and soon to be Mountain Lion, no longer come with GCC 
installed for the Command Line (/usr/bin/gcc)
What you need to do is Install Xcode from the app store, which is 
free, and then:
   * Launch your Xcode 4.1
   * Go to preferences > Downloads
   * Click on the "install" button near the "Command line tools"

This will put gcc in your /usr/bin directory.

Then try to recompile your code.

-- the new mac installer on the website should probably come with 
gcc or check for dependencies
