Simon, I scanned the config.log, which is too voluminous to insert below,
but it seems that gcc is still being looked for as the compiler. See the
lines from config.log below. Mark

Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)
configure:4824: $? = 0
configure:4831: gcc -V >&5
gcc: `-V' option must have argument
configure:4834: $? = 1
configure:4857: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:4884: gcc -fast -unroll -wd188 -I/usr/local/include -L -L
-L/usr/local/lib64 conftest.c  >&5
gcc: unrecognized option `-wd188'
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fast"
configure:4887: $? = 1
configure:4925: result:
configure: failed program was:

# Then the tail end of config.log
