When I launch this instruction (in brackets);

"./configure --prefix=/lib/gtk2.8/ --x-libraries=/
usr/lib/gs-esp/8.15/ --mandir=/usr/share/man/
--info=/usr/share/info --sbindir=/ sbin/
--bindir=/bin/ --enable-man
PKG_CONFIG=/usr/bin/pkg-config --exec-prefix=/
usr/bin"

the output messages report the following:
"checking for a BSD-compatible install...
/usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes

Are you sure you have `gcc' installed on your system?
Try compiling a simple C program.  Can you show us
the content of `config.log' that is generated in the same
directory where you executed `configure'?

Try compiling this program:

/* simple.c */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  puts ("Foobar.");

  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


like this:

$ gcc simple.c -o simple
$ ./simple
Foobar.

$ gcc simple.c
$ ./a.out
Foobar.


You should see both the above outputs.  The second
case is where it appears to be failing.

* Question *

After looking fast-reading to configure script code,
and get tired, have decided forward my questions to
you (list):
1 - Do I really need to build any executable?
2 - Is this message, directly or not, related with any
other configure's option?
(e.g.: --exec-prefix)

* Agreements *
Advanced thanks for any responser

1. Yes.
2. Probably not, but `config.log' will certainly enlighten us.
