I use Transmission, the bittorrent client.

It, along with several other programs I have, were written in C and work on OS X, Unix, BeOS etc. and I wouldn't mind if i could run it minus the graphic interface.

Do I have to download and compile the source for this to be possible, or can I use the terminal to launch it and tell it torun in the command line instead? The latter doesn't seem to be possible.

ALSO
I needed an update of Curl so that i could './configure' the Transmission source (i was giving that a shot) so when i went to './configure' Curl, I got this error:

configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

Is it a library that I must install?

after some searching, i've found it apparently means i dont have a C++ compiler, such as g++
but
i have this (says my terminal)
g++
g++-3.3
g++2
g++3

So, Im lost

Just curious, but why do you want to run it from the command line instead of using the GUI?

Partly just to learn things about the Unix world
