Description
I just installed Snow Leopard fresh from scratch. I downloaded the latest Xcode and Macports, installed both, however I can't seem to install any ports I've tried. Installing Wireshark yields:
$ sudo port install wireshark ---> Computing dependencies for wiresharkError: Unable to execute port: can't read "build.cmd": Failed to locate 'make' in path: '/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin' or at its MacPorts configuration time location, did you move it?
If it's not in the path, I have no idea where to look. My path is:
$ echo $PATH /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
Attempting to install nmap yields a bit more error text:
---> Computing dependencies for nmap ---> Configuring libpcap Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_libpcap/work/libpcap-1.0.0" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-ipv6 " returned error 77 Command output: checking build system type... i686-apple-darwin10.0.0 checking host system type... i686-apple-darwin10.0.0 checking target system type... i686-apple-darwin10.0.0 checking for gcc... /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. Error: The following dependencies failed to build: libpcap openssl zlib pcre bzip2 ncurses ncursesw readline Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
X11 is definitely installed as well as Xcode
$ which xterm /usr/X11/bin/xterm
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, I thought that might be the case, but the option is greyed out in the installer. Any idea why that would be the case on a fresh install?

Okay well I figured it out for anyone who cares... the Xcode installer that you download from Apple does not install the Unix development package. You have to use the one included on the Snow Leopard disk.

Thanks. I ran into this exact problem. Too bad I didn't read this last Friday, I wouldn't have had to reinstall Leopard and Snow Leopard two times each to figure out exactly what was causing this issue.
You didn't check the "UNIX dev tools" option in the Xcode installer. This is clearly spelled out in the MacPorts installation instructions.
