    You are trying to do a TEXT installation - we strongly recommend a
binary installation.  This gets load modules that run up to 50% faster
than those produced by the GNU compilers without having to install the
GNU compilers.

       perl install.pl -n

will run the install proc and MNJ updates will also go the binary
route.

   You need to get a C compiler from Apple in order to compile the
3.3.2 C compilers.  The binary installation is easier.  

You do still need to get X11 from Apple however.
