	First of all thanks to all that have tryied to help me with
comments. 
	I have seen that the gcc compiler is installed in the system,
under /usr/local/bin while the cc compiler (which seems to be the default
as it is in the $CC enviroment variable) is in /usr/bin. When I run
configure I get:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
checking host system type... hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.01
checking build system type... hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.01
checking for ranlib... (cached) ranlib

checking for gcc... (cached) cc   <--------------------IS THIS CORRECT?

checking whether the C compiler (cc -Aa -z -DANSI -D_INCLUDE_XOPEN_SOURCE
-I/usr/include/Motif1.2 -I/usr/include/X11R5 -I/usr/local/imsl/include )
works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (cc -Aa -z -DANSI -D_INCLUDE_XOPEN_SOURCE
-I/usr/include/Motif1.2 -I/usr/include/X11R5 -I/usr/local/imsl/include )
is a cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... (cached) no
checking whether cc accepts -g... (cached) yes
checking for non-GNU ld... (cached) /usr/bin/ld
checking if the linker (/usr/bin/ld) is GNU ld... (cached) no
checking for BSD-compatible nm... (cached) /usr/bin/nm -p
------------------------------------------------------------------------

	The question is now, how can specify to glib which compiler
should use? I guess this should be done when executing  configure but I
haven't found the option to that in the configure help. 

	Thanks again in advance.
