LOL. I don't think that's a dumb question at all. My /usr/bin directory 
has gcc-3.3 in it, but since so much Unix style installing is a "just 
type this line, everything will work fine, you don't need to know 
what's really going on", I have no idea what other dependencies are 
hidden beneath.

My general experience with installing anything from the command line 
has been horrible, (see 
http://howell.seattle.wa.us/essays/IHateUnix.html for one tragic 
example), so I try very hard not to compile anything, and haven't on 
the server in quite some time.

I believe I do not have 'the latest XCode' installed. My laptop has 
/Developer/Applications/Xcode (version 1.5). My server has 
/Developer/Applications/ProjectBuilder (2.0).

Guess I'll try installing XCode and see if that helps. . . . and 
eureka. Thank you both very much. Rails is now running. Haven't been 
able to get the postgres driver to install yet, but that appears to be 
a matter of psychically guessing what the answer is to the question 
"--with-pgsql-dir=" is.
