error: could not find a working compiler

[Hari Narasimhan H.N]

Thanks for your reply. I will compare the two config.log files again and
get back to you if I face any problem.

Meanwhile, could you please let me know what does the error "could not find
a working compiler" mean in general, since I already have a working gcc
(gcc4.9.3) installed, verified and working.

Regards,
Hari
