"Developer Tools" is actually what the HP requires. I think it might
be under the XCode umbrella. Still, the Macbook Air doesn't come with
an install for XCode or Developer Tools.

How can gcc require this stuff, though? Doesn't gcc pre-date all of
this stuff by a decade and a half?

Thanks for your time,
