Sorry.  You're looking for 'gcc' and friends.

The new version of the compiler is packaged as 'gcc4', though this is
the default, which is why setup won't compile unless you install
'gcc'.  Don't forget to specify 'gcc-3' to setup's configure, so you
don't end up with 'gcc' which points to 'gcc-4' by default.
