Trouble installing Arachne - possible gcc error? Maybe?

Hi, I am having trouble installing Arachne from the broad institute.

I'm using ubuntu through Oracle's VirtualBox.

When I use the ./configure command, I do not get any obvious errors. However, the make command always fails.

Here is my output for the .configure command and for the make step:

I also looked in config.log file, and I think this part might be the problem:

I found this thread:

old.nabble.com/cannot-compile-arrrghh...-td32746084.html

which seemed to have a similar error message, and so it may be a problem with gmp, mpfr, and mpc as suggested. (I tried to install each of these components before making the symbolic links, but I'm now getting "configure: error: libgmp not found or uses a different ABI (including static vs shared)" when I try to install mpfr. I think I have gmp-5.0.3 successfully installed and the symbolic link created, but just fixing gmp wasn't enough to resolve the error in the arachne config log.)

So what should I do? Is there an easier way to resolve my arachne config error? If the error really is due to problems with gmp/mpfr/mpc, is there a version of gcc I can download with these components already included? I am not very experienced with unix/bioinformatics so I am having a lot of problems trouble shooting.

Thanks for your help!

Looks like an old buggy configure script that still expects gcc to accept -V without an argument.

Thank you for the speedy response. If the configure script is buggy, is there anything I can do to fix it?

Try running 'autoreconf' and perhaps 'libtoolize' while in the same directory as ./configure, in some circumstances that can update it. But if it's just too old, or written in a way incompatible with the new scripts, it will still throw up.
