It appears that you didn't install enough of Xcode, or that something
didn't get installed. Did you do a default install? We generally
assume that people install everything from a default install.
What is blocking you from switching selfupdate methods appears to be
that fink didn't detect /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/make. Run
ls /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/rsync
If one or both of the first two are missing, then you need to
(re)install DeveloperToolsCLI.pkg from your Xcode disk image.
