Install MTR on OSX lion

I have been trying to install mtr on osx lion without any success, it combines both ping and tracerout into one nice command. I have tried following the instructions here:
http://sdkit.com/
but when executing the ./configure cmd I get the following error:
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
I have downloaded the Xcode Developers kit from Apple but still the same error even after that was installed.

Just need some direction in how to install this if anyone is familiar with it.

Thanks

MacPorts is a great tool to install a number of OSX-built Unix applications including mtr and rsync and others
http://www.macports.org
Pick the PKG installer and the version appropriate for OSX Lion.

You'll need to have XCode installed on your computer anyway.

Install the command line tools for Xcode and now the ./configure line works, but when I do make here is the error message I receive
