I can't be of much help here since I stopped using RedHat at version 7.3. However it sounds like
your C compiler may be broken.
What do you get from the following commands:
rpm -qa | grep gcc
gcc --version
Can you write a hello world program and compile it by hand?
If gcc is installed and working, perhaps the configure script is not finding it.
Try ./configure --help. You can usually pass ./configure an option to force it to use your gcc.
Hth.
