Greetings Visda,

After looking at your log file, it seems as though configure is picking
up icc as your C compiler, not gcc. Not only that, but it can't seem to
find icc either:

./configure: line 4183: icc: command not found

Perhaps something in your environment is set to point to a non-existing
icc? If you want to use gcc, set the environmental variable $CC

export CC=/usr/bin/gcc (or setenv if your are using a csh based shell)

and try running configure again.

Cheers!

Sean
