Hi Micheal,

It looks like the Configure script couldn't find the make command and the C
complier-- this most likely means you haven't installed the "Developer
Tools" from your OS X cd.  This installation adds programs such as make and
gcc to your system.

Try opening the "Optional Installs" folder on the OS X cd and look for a
installer that says "Xcode".  Run that installer and you should have
everything you need to build from source.

Good luck!

-Charlie
