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.
