Hi,

I'm pretty new to AIX.  Just got an IBM RS/6000 with AIX 4.1.

I'm trying to install some gnu software, ie. gcc, emacs, make....

I'm having trouble as the C-compiler on my system does not seem to be
working.  I get the following output when I try to run './configure'
after un-tarring the downloaded files:

###############
# ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... ./install-sh -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... missing
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake... missing
checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... missing
checking host system type... powerpc-ibm-aix4.1.4.0
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... (cached) yes
ichecking for gcc... no
checking for cc... cc
checking whether the C compiler (cc  ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
cannot create executables.
#
###########

Has anyone had this type of problem before?  Will I need to re-install
something?  If so, do you know what it is?  I'm sure I have a licensed
version of C and C++ for AIX from IBM.

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.
-Matt
