Total newbie here teaching himself C and C++. Unfortunately I have huge problems finding a compiler, I've been to all the sites with lists of free compilers and absoloutely nothing works.

I'm on an OSX mac and it does have some kind of 'project builder' prpgram written for developers that claims to be able to compile C and C++ but its utter nonsense. So if anyone could point me towards a working, mac-compatiable C/C++ compiler I will be very grateful.

Thanks in advance.

Isn't GCC available in OS X ?

I believe it's installed by default.

Ghostdog try:

gcc ./yourprog.cpp
resulting file is ./a.out

IF gcc isn't found, try the following to find its path:

which gcc
or
find / -name gcc* -print
