NRPE install on Remote Host- OSX Server

I would like to monitor some processes and machine parameters like Disk space on a Host Server running OSX Server 10.4.11. I am trying to install the NRPE Plugin. I found some documentation, but am having trouble. Has anyone run across any documentation on this or know what I am doing wrong?

Using: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf
Stuck at compile command: "/configure"
Get "no acceptable C compiler found"

Thanks for any help you can give.
Sorry for being such a Newbie. I just learned to setup Nagios and am currently monitoring my Windows servers, but the macs have me stumped.

OS X doesn't include a compiler by default, but you can get GCC in the "xcode" package. I'm not sure what the most current instructions for doing so are, but a Google search along the lines of http://www.google.com/search?q=install+gcc+on+mac+os+x should get you pointed in the right direction. (The top result is from 2004 - I have no idea if it's still valid.)
