Install/Setup Problem While Running ./configure

[mbies...@ebay.com]

I am trying to follow the install instructions in the README. The
step states to run ./configure. When I execute it the process dies
with the message:
...
checking for nawk... nawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/export/home/mbiesenthal/projects/protobuf/
protobuf-2.4.1/gtest':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
configure: error: ./configure failed for gtest
...

How can I get around this compiler problem?
