Compiling open source projects typically requires a C compiler and gcc is typically the compiler of choice. Mac OS X doesn't install the gcc compiler by default but it is freely available in the xcode suite of development tools.
To install the gcc compiler, download the xcode package from http://connect.apple.com/. You'll need to register for an Apple Developer Connection account. Once you've registered, login and click Download Software and then Developer Tools.
Find the downloaded package, doubleclick it and follow the installation instructions to install gcc and a host of other development applications. gcc will be located at /usr/bin/gcc.
