The last two line above show that the `configure' script did not find a
C.  This means that it will not be able to compile anything.  This must
be fixed.

Would you please send me the following:

    1.  The pathname of the C compiler (/opt/gnu/bin/gcc?).

    2.  The output from executing the command `env'.

    3.  The file CUSTOMIZE.

I suspect that your environment variable PATH is bad.  Is there someone
there who knows about UNIX who can help you set it to the correct value?
