More issues regarding the installation of Rstem package

This question is related to Issues in Installing Rstem Package, but I think the answer provided in the previous one isn't working for my case.

I've downloaded the source package and the installation isn't working correctly. Any help is welcomed! 

install.packages("~/Downloads/Rstem_0.4-1.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")

This is the error I get:

Warning in install.packages :
  package ‘~/Downloads/Rstem_0.4-1.tar.gz’ is not available (for R version 2.15.3)
Installing package(s) into ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
* installing *source* package ‘Rstem’ ...
** libs
*** arch - i386
sh: make: command not found

Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘/Users/mbtangotan/Downloads/Rstem_0.4-1.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

Also tried:

install.packages("Rstem", repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R", type="source")

Got this as output:

FWIW, I have just uploaded to CRAN a new package called SnowballC, which implements the same functions as Rstem and uses the same algorithms. Binary packages for Mac OS X and Windows will be available in a few hours/days.

If make is not found it suggests you need to install an XCode appropriate to your unspecified version of "OSX".

If you did have XCode installed this should succeed (at least it did just now with my MacPro running OSX 10.6.8, R 3.0.0 RC, and XCode 3.2.6 (1761):

install.packages("Rstem", repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R", type="source")

Whether there might be other problems, I cannot tell. The package was removed from CRAN, so there may be other alligators in the swamp.
