Two possible answers, both have nothing to do with fink:

1. You don't have the developer tools installed -> You don't have 
gcc, you can't compile, you can't install programs that need 
compilation. Simple.

2. You have the developer tools installed -> You have gcc, only 
it's called 'cc' and sits in /usr/bin/cc. Most configure scripts 
understand this, but there are some that require explicitly 'gcc'. 
If this is the case (but if you are not sure, it's probably not the 
case), you can make a symlink

   sudo ln -s cc /usr/bin/gcc

In this way you have a gcc that's really called 'gcc'.

gcc/cc comes from Apple, not from Fink.

... why do you quote all this crap that has nothing to do with your 
question?
