Hi Marco. In my case I'm trying to install the 'grib_api' package from source (grib_api-1.9.9.tar.gz) found at http://www.ecmwf.int/products/data/software/download/grib_api.html
After unpacking the tar-ball you're supposed to run 'configure' before installing but 'configure' hangs on "checking for ANSI C header files..." Regards, Kare The output looks like this: $ ./configure --prefix=/user/kare/software/ecmwf/lib 1.9.9 configuring grib_api 1.9.9 checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for xlc_r... no checking for xlc... no checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.exe checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... .exe checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking for style of include used by make...
