Another question: Configuration options

[kabir.patel]

When I just type in ./configure without specifying any additional options it
come back with an error message like the following:

*** The command ' -o conftest    conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.

Could somebody tell me how to resolve this?

Thanks

Kabir

You need a C compiler in order to compile gcc. Just set the enviroment
variable CC to a working compiler. Read the INSTALL file.

CC=kcc ./configure 

as an example in Bash.
