I used gcc 3.3. The configure script printed the following summary at 
the end:

Elk configuration summary
-------------------------
build C++ plugins: no
libgdbm support: no
X11 support: no
Xaw support: no
Motif support: no
build documentation: yes

Then make and make install ran through without any problem. Works like 
a charm.

Best regards from Krems,
