Summary: xsb 2.5 won't install on Linux

Initial Comment:
I use Mandrake Linux, which uses gcc 3.0.  Trying to
install xsb, I get the following:
[douglass@dhcppc2 build]$ ./configure

Building XSB Version 2.5 (Okocim) of 2002-03-11

etc. . . Everything is OK until ...

checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C
compiler cannot create executables.
[douglass@dhcppc2 build]$

The config.log file contains the following lines indicating
the error:
configure:1212: checking for gcc
configure:1325: checking whether the C compiler (gcc  )
works
configure:1341: gcc -o conftest    conftest.c  1>&5
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cpp0': No such file
or directory configure: failed program was:

#line 1336 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

main(){return(0);}

I get the same result whether or not I use the  -linuxaout
option.  Any ideas as to what I should do?  It seems the script
is trying to execute cpp0 instead of cpp or gcc?

Mandrake has a bug: if uu install gcc 3.0, it "forgets to
install the appropriate cpp package and set the links right.
You would have to do it yourself.  You can check that you
cannot compile *any* program with gcc on your system.

I also ran into this when I tried to use gcc 3.0 on Mandrake 8.2

Please, make sure your development environment is working
correctly. For instance, what happens when you compile the
"conftest" program by hand? Can you compile other C programs
with this gcc?
