This means that your c compiler can't be found.  Cheetah only assumes 
the availability of a compiler for Posix systems. See line 17 in 
SetupConfig.py.  OS X is reporting itself as 'posix', via os.name, so 
Cheetah is trying to build the c version of NameMapper.  

We obviously need to make a more intelligent test for compiler 
availability. Any suggestions?

In the meantime, just comment out lines 17-21 of SetupConfig.py
