I disagree, even though I had my own share of problems in compiling 4.0.13.

The clue is in the error message

    >> configure:error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

It is very likely that if he typed

    which cc   or  which gcc

the reply would come back

    No cc (gcc) in ... (a list of directories).

Either gcc is not installed or the PATH variable is set incorrectly. To
check how the path variable is set, type

    echo $PATH

Take care of that problem and try the install again.
