sudo port selfupdate, error 1, C compiler, $PATH

[webguy@…]

When I run

sudo port selfupdate

It gives me error 1, and says

no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

I looked at config.log, but it gave me no more insight into what to do about this. Please advise.

Following is the complete output I get from

sudo port selfupdate:

Hmm, so it detects your Xcode (3.1.2) but doesn't see a cc or gcc? Did you disable Xcode's option for installing stuff under /usr/bin?
