Yes this is it. But I wasn't getting that with OSX. In '06, it was pretty good compared to say Windows XP but since '08 it's been declining rapidly into whack-a-mole problems.
OSX is a bastardised version of UNIX under the hood which is "even worse than HP-UX when you haven't paid for the compilers" to deal with I found. Getting a reliable toolchain up that worked properly was a PITA.
- cgh 14y agoYou click a button marked "Install" in XCode and it installs the tools into /usr/bin. That sure is tough. OS X userland is pretty stock BSD. It may be unfamiliar if you are used to Linux.

- meaty 14y agoThat's an installed toolchain, not a properly working one.
