In order to compile and install unix software on your Mac OS X server, you need to install the Apple developer toolkit, "Xcode Tools".

Download Xcode

Set up an Apple Developer Connection account. Log in to http://connect.apple.com/. In the "downloads" box, click "developer tools". Locate a suitable version of Xcode and download it.

• Once your browser starts downloading, make it tell you the URL it's downloading from. You should be able to download it directly to your server like this:

  cd /tmp && curl 'urlgoeshere' -RO

• Apparently, if your server is older than 10.4, you have to use Xcode 1.5.
• It is easy to find Xcode 2.2, which requires OS X 10.4, using Google. Google couldn't find Xcode 1.5, and developer.apple.com couldn't find it either.
• Version 1.5 is 372 MB. Version 2.2 is 833 MB.
• MD5 (xcode_tools_1.5_cd.dmg.bin) = cb2dc5bdd04950a53b2783df22636480

Mount the disk image

If you do this from a reattached screen session, you'll get "unable to set up framework server: device not configured." Detach from your screen and start a new one, if you're using a reattached screen.

cd /tmp
mv -i xcode_tools_1.5_cd.dmg{.bin,}
hdutil attach xcode_tools_1.5_cd.dmg
mount

Install the package

cd /Volumes/Xcode\ Tools
installer -verbose -pkg XcodeTools.mpkg -target /

The installer will install the tools, then optimize your system performance for a while. In my case, the installation took 11 minutes. I don't know what kind of server this is; I've never seen it. It seems to have a 40 GB hard disk and 384 MB of RAM.

Unmount the image

umount /Volumes/Xcode\ Tools

Use it

Now you can compile C programs. Hurray!

Thanks
