This is freely available with the Apple Developer Tools kit. If you do not have this installed, you need to install it either from the cd-rom (if you got one with your system) or by downloading it from Apple's site. There was a significant upgrade to the kit last December, so even if you have the CD, you'll need to download anyway if it's older than that. The download is huge -- around 215mb -- and you have to sign up for a free developer's account before they'll let you have it.
Once it's installed, you should breeze past this step next time you try to install aalib or anything else. (Without it you won't be able to install anything at all with Fink...). > "Suppose you were an idiot . . .
