Oh, really? I guess I forgot to mention that you need to install the 
command line tools as well.

No, HFS+, the filesystem on Mac OS X, is by default _not_ 
case-sensitive. I have hit one or two issues with this but in general 
it's not a problem. If you want, it's possible to choose case-sensitive, 
but that would most likely require you to reinstall the system.
