The last 9 lines above indicate that the C compiler "/usr/bin/c99"
couldn't be used because it doesn't exist.  I suspect that the
environment variable CC was set to "/usr/bin/c99" before the "configure"
script was executed.  Please verify this.

If such was the case, then please try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory of the package.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.html.

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CC is properly set, e.g.,

            export CC=/usr/bin/gcc

        or

            setenv CC /usr/bin/gcc

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.html.

The file INSTALL.html contains examples of building the package on a
Linux system.

Please let me know if this helps.

Steve Emmerson
