I need to run linux to use ddrescue command of -d
But I am in search of a live cd that either has that app or a live cd that at least works on the macbook pro.
Might you know of one, or have had to try this before?

Because it does not have the direct access feature on osx. And I did try and patch it. No dice.
For the others: Does ubuntu have ddrescue installed ? Or at the very least gcc?

No, but you can easily install it. sudo aptitude install ddrescue

And FYI you can 'install' things when booted from the live disc but they won't alter your hard drive in any way.
