Hey I've been searching all over the internet trying to find a C or C++ compiler for Mac. If someone could direct me to a link to the direct download (cause everything else it just leading me into loops) that would be great. Thank you for your time.
Got a tip for us?

You should have project builder, i think it's called in Jaguar. It's Apples IDE. Look for a folder in Applications->Installers->Developers Tools
Here you should find an installer for it.
Another way is open a terminal. go to Applications->Utilities
here you'll find the terminal.
once you have you code written, i.e. you *.c or *.cc or *.cpp files
use gcc or g++ filename.
gcc is for C
g++ is for C++
but, I also think you can use either for both C and C++. What I mentioned befoer is the recommendations.

Thanks for trying you guys, but the person below this one (FUIK) or something, needs to read the post first. I said a direct link to it, not just saying oh well people use GCC. I know this. I asked if someone could point me to a link that is the direct download to it. Duh thats why I asked. Oh and the person who referred the installer. Thank you, but I don't have it 
. I'm mad at FUIK we'll call the person right now. I asked for a direct link to it.

For Jaguar, you need to download it from Apple. Go to http://connect.apple.com and make an ADC account for yourself. The free account will give you download access to all the tools you need.
Oh yeah -- skip down to the older developer tools for something that works on Jaguar. Xcode is for Panther and later.
