./configure can't find C compiler after OS X Lion installation

Question

While cc and gcc are perfectly in their right path (/Developer/usr/bin in OS X Lion), running ./configure tries to compile it

Answer 1

I just ran into this... I "solved" it by just installing the XCode "Command Line Tools" package

But for some reason it is not possible (for me at least) to reach the same preferences window when a project is open. I had to do the following

• Close XCode (if running)
• Start XCode (do not open a project yet)
• Press Command+,
• Go to Downloads
• Click on install
