I need to run a small server on my mac as well and I thought the best would be to run it in a terminal and compile it with a C-compiler of choice. Need not to be gcc. Just the default one. And thanks Ruben for the tip using the CPATH variable.

You should not need to set CPATH to find the standard system includes.

If you are still having problems, you need to provide more information 
for anyone to help. Exactly what commands are you running, and exactly 
what errors does that give, etc.
