Ok, so I'm new to the whole programming on a Mac thing (just got a brand new Macbook Pro for my birthday). So I got BlitzMax downloaded and installed but I can't run any programs, I get this output:

Building Example 1
Compiling:Example 1.bmx
sh: as: command not found
Build Error: Failed to assemble /Users/Will/Blitz/BlitzMAX/Bezier Lines/Example 1/.bmx/Example 1.bmx.gui.debug.macos.x86.s
Process complete

I'm not exactly sure what that means so can anyone please tell me what this means and how to fix it?

You probably don't have XCode installed -- it's a prerequisite.

It may be on your OSX DVD, or otherwise you can download it for free from apple.com

Well that's odd because as soon as I left this forum I went and downloaded Xcode without even knowing that information. Unfortunately I didn't try compiling an application until just now, so thank you for the info.
