The message that the compiler cannot create executables often means  
that Xcode is not installed. But you claim that it is? The latest  
version?

AFAIK gcc 3 is not compatible with Intel Macs, so you should  
definitely be using gcc 4. The configure output above shows that it  
found gcc-3.3, which AFAIK will not work. I do not know (other than  
gcc-select) how to tell it to use gcc 4.
