 Why can't I install macports from source!?  Okay,  I open a terminal
 window inside the folder that I unzipped the source into.  Then, I typed,
 './configure.'  This is the output that I get:

 checking build system type... i386-apple-darwin12.0.0
 checking host system type... i386-apple-darwin12.0.0

 configure: error: in `/Users/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/Downloads/MacPorts-2.1.2':
 configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
 See `config.log' for more details

 I tried to research the error message online & all I get is that XCode
 wasn't installed.  I know that can't be the case for me because, as you
 can see, I do have XCode installed.  In fact, I have the latest version of
 XCode(4.4.1) installed along with the latest version of OS X(Mountain
 Lion).  So, it has to be something else.  Can anybody please tell me what
 exactly the problem is!?  I am at my wits end trying to install MacPorts.
 I first tried the .pkg installer but I kept getting errors when trying to
 use MacPorts after installing it via the .pkg that I downloaded.  Now, I
 try to install it via source and I still get a bunch of BS errors!  I must
 say, MacPorts is one bug-ridden piece of software!  It's a shame because
 it would make OS X just that much more awesome if one could easily install
 UNIX progs on it with ease just like you can with most Linux versions out
 there.  If anybody has a solution for my problem, please email me at
 retselseer(@)yahoo(.)co(.)uk .  Thanks.
