Lets see what is in config.log. That should contain clues as to why it "cannot compile". It looks like it can't find all the pieces it needs to run test programs. Some of these configure tests actually create and compile test programs to check for things. The "cannot compile" message seems to indicate that there is a problem even getting things to build. I think I have seen this when I have had typos in compile flags. Like passing something like "-march=pentium3" in CFLAGS environment variable to a powerpc compiler. The compiler will choke on this because it is not valid command line option for powerpc. Maybe we backtrack a little. Is this a powerpc or intel mac? kevin
