GDAL install on Mac OS X Lion

Question

I'm trying to install GDAL 1.7.1 on Mac OS X Lion using:

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

and get the error:

running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building 'osgeo._gdal' extension

unable to execute llvm-gcc-4.2: No such file or directory
error: command 'llvm-gcc-4.2' failed with exit status 1

Is this the right compiler? How can I get this working?

UPDATE:

I get a little further with Xcode installed:

Homebrew works great for me. To install GDAL 1.9 with Homebrew all you have to do is

      brew install gdal

Homebrew requires xcode, and I think commandline tools. More information can be found here
