How you set an environment variable on a Unix system depends on which
shell you are using.  If you are using ksh, sh, or bash, just use the
"export" statement, for example:

  $ export CC=gcc
  $ export CPPFLAGS="-DNDEBUG -D__USE_FIXED_PROTOTYPES__"
  $ export CFLAGS=-O
  $ rm config.cache   # necessary if you have run the configure script here 
before
  $ ./configure       # run the script

If you are using a shell such as "csh" or "tcsh" to interact with the
system, environment variables are set with the "setenv" command instead,
for example:

  $ setenv CC gcc
  $ setenv CPPFLAGS "-DNDEBUG -D__USE_FIXED_PROTOTYPES__"
  $ setenv CFLAGS -O
  $ rm config.cache   # necessary if you have run the configure script here 
before
  $ ./configure       # run the script
