problems compiling 4.1beta2 for RedHat



I'm having a lot of trouble compiling hylafax-4.1beta2 on my RedHat 6.1
(updated) AMD K6-2/450 system.

I get configure errors claiming that it can't find config.guess (although I
think that the real problem is that the output of config.guess is nothing
at all).

I've got another system working fine with 4.1beta1 and libtiff-3.4, but I'd
really like to get things rolling with libtiff-3.5 (especially for the
tiff2ps fixes in 3.5) which requires me to compile it from patched source.

I can try 'configure --target=' if I only knew what the output of
config.guess *should* be for my system.  What does config.guess do
normally?  Read below for the result of ./configure... and ./configure
--target=linux

Is anybody reading that has compiled HylaFAX successfully on a RedHat
system?  If I can get through this I'll probably make a
hylafax-4.1beta2-patched-1rh6-i386.rpm by working with the 4.1beta1 spec
file that I dug out of the src.rpm

Would somebody give me a pointer please?

Thanks.

[root@goomba hylafax-4.1beta2]# ./configure

Configuring HylaFAX (tm) (aka FlexFAX) 4.1beta2.

If configure does the wrong thing, check the file config.log for
information that may help you understand what went wrong.

Reading site-wide parameters from ./config.site.
Sorry, no target was specified on the command line and I don't seem to
have the GNU config.guess script that is used to deduce your system type.

Unrecoverable error!  Once you've corrected the problem rerun this script.

[root@goomba hylafax-4.1beta2]# ./configure --target=linux

Invalid configuration `linux': machine `linux' not recognized

Cannot locate a working ANSI C compiler.

We attempted to compile the following test program:

----------------------------------------------------------
main(int argc, char* argv) { exit(0); }
----------------------------------------------------------

with these compilers:

     gcc cc ncc dcc xlc c89 gcc2 acc

but none of them were successful.

If your compiler is in a non-standard location, you can specify its
location in several ways:

    o set the environment variable CC
    o create a config.local or config.site file that includes a
      definition for CC
    o supply it on the command line using -with-CC=<pathname>

If command line options are required for ANSI C compilation, set the
ENVOPTS parameter to these options in a similar way (either through
an environment variable or config.local/config.site) and then rerun
this script.
