[gopher] Re: Can't build Gopher on Mac OS X

[Robert Hahn <rhahn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, John.

You can download the dev tools for free, after you pick up  a free 
membership, from here:

http://developer.apple.com/tools/

it's a CD image, so you'll need to burn it, then install it. I think the 
d/l is about 175Mb's...

I will send you a copy of regex.h separately.

thanks for your work on this, John!
