Thanks to the folks on Freenode s  macdev  here is some information   In the old days before Xcode was on the app-store  it included commandline tools   Now you get it from the store  and with this new mechanism it can t install extra things outside of the Xcode app  so you have to manually do it yourself  by   xcode-select --install   On Xcode 4 x you can check to see if they are installed from within the Xcode  UI     On Xcode 5 x it is now here     My problem of finding gcc gdb is that they have been superseded by clang lldb  GDB missing in OS X v10 9  Mavericks   Also note that Xcode contains compiler and debugger  so one of the things installing commandline tools will do is symlink or modify  PATH   It also downloads certain things like git

First of all  be sure that you have downloaded it or not  Open up your terminal application  and enter   gcc if  you have not installed it you will get an alert  You can verify that you have installed it by    xcode-select -p  Library Developer CommandLineTools   And to be sure then enter   gcc --version  You can read more about the process here  Xcode command line tools for Mavericks
