Question

Is there a way to install gcc in OSX without installing Xcode?

I've googled the hell out of it, and it seems like there is no way to install gcc on OS X without installing Xcode (which takes at leats 1.5GB of space). All I need is gcc and none of the other junk that comes with Xcode. And at this point, I'll take any other kind of C compiler.

I know I could simply install Xcode, but that is beside the point since I neither have my original installation disc nor a quick internet connection.

So... does anyone have any suggestions?

EDIT: Sorry if I was unclear, but I need the headers as well. I'm currently installing gcc4 via fink and it's downloading the shared libraries as well. I'll update on the progress.

EDIT 2: Ok, so I successfully installed gcc using fink. BUT, it's pretty much useless: "error: C compiler cannot create executables". After googling around, I found that not having Apple's Developer Tools installed is the cause of the error. Probably because I need all the libraries, headers, etc that are only available through Xcode.

Checkout command line tools for Xcode from apple. It's official support from apple to only create the command line tools.
