How can I find out if my Mac OS X computer has a C++ compiler already included?

I was told that Macs already come with a C++ compiler included, however, I'm not so sure how and where to look for it. Can anybody tell me how to find it? My Mac is version 10.4.7

Your Mac probably does not come with the compiler installed, though it should come with an XCode installer on the CD/DVD, which will give you a compiler (GCC). In the event your system does already have the (GCC) compiler installed, you can verify such by going to Terminal and typing 'cc', 'gcc' or 'g++'. If any of these binaries already exist, the system should find one somewhere among your path.





Hoping everything works out as it should.
