Subject: [freetds] RE: Problem building freetds --- gcc location

I did install gcc at /usr/local/bin.  And the PATH variable was set to
include the /usr/local/bin/ directory also.   But, the "configure"   script
of  free-tds does not seem to recognize this gcc.  I am  looking at the log
file,  and there are entries as given below:
configure:992: checking whether the C compiler (cc  ) works 
configure:1008: cc -o conftest    conftest.c  1>&5 
....... 
The above log entries indicate that configure is trying to use "cc" instead
of "gcc",  is this right? 
Can you suggest what could be going wrong here and how can I point configure
to  locate gcc. 
One more point is that I have 2 versions of perl running on this system. One
is 4.0 and the other is 5.6.1.  Does this cause any issue?

Venkat, 

See line 869 or so of configure:

Some influential environment variables:
  CC          C compiler command
  CFLAGS      C compiler flags
  LDFLAGS     linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
              nonstandard directory <lib dir>
  CPPFLAGS    C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have
              headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
  CPP         C preprocessor

I think this might output of a more recent version of autoconf, but is $CC
set to anything, and/or does setting it to /usr/local/bin/gcc help?

If you post the 20 or so lines of configure's output leading up to the first
error, that might shed some light on what's going on.  script(1) is your
friend here.
