v2.10.6 configure unhappy on Redhat Enterprise Linux box

[steve kirby <thin_runner yahoo com>]

Hello,

 

Trying to install gtk+-2.10.6 on a Redhat Linux box............,

 

Have installed all of the packages listed under "Dependencies", i.e. pango, Glib, etc.

 

./configure is yielding a few errors like:

 

==================================================

 

configure:2898: gcc -c -g -O2  conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:2: error: parse error before "me"

(don't know what to make of this)

 

configure:4289: gcc -E  conftest.c
conftest.c:10:28: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory

(ac_nonexistent sounds like a script variable but it isn't dereferenced)

 

onfigure:5144: g++ -c -g -O2  conftest.cc >&5
conftest.cc: In function `int main()':
conftest.cc:25: error: `exit' undeclared (first use this function)

 

configure:19772: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lcposix   >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcposix

(didn't see a libcposix.a with a "find")

 

configure:27095: gcc -E  conftest.c
conftest.c:63:27: X11/Intrinsic.h: No such file or directory

(configure says it looks for Intrinsic.h to get a feel as to where the X11 stuff is, but I couldn't find a Intrinsic.h file on my Redhat box.)

 

==============================================================

 

Usually "configure" works right out of the box.  This one seems unusually cantankerous.

Any hints on what I may be messing up would be a big help.  I know I can turn off certain things, but I don't think that will help with these errors.

 

TIA,

Steve
