body: <p>I'm having trouble installing the Python Pandas library on my Mac OSX computer.</p>
  
  <p>I type the following in Terminal:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ sudo easy_install pandas
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But then I get the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Searching for pandas

  <p>I do have Xcode and gcc installed, however, gcc is only found when I type:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ gcc
  -bash: gcc: command not found
  
  $ gcc-4.2
  i686-apple-darwin11-gcc-4.2.1: no input files
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What should I do?</p>
