Hi Kare,

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
(snip)
checking for library containing opendir... none required
checking for ANSI C header files...

Kill configure and take a look at the end of config.log
configure logs each check and what it actually does.

Kare,
in addition to the TOFU advise,
running configure of grib_api-1.9.9_libtool.tar.gz
on my XP-SP3 gave no problem.
"Configuration completed."
The ANSI C test is a basic one
configure:6808: checking for ANSI C header files
configure:6828: gcc -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5
configure:6828: $? = 0
configure:6901: gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2 conftest.c >&5
configure:6901: $? = 0
configure:6901: ./conftest.exe
configure:6901: $? = 0
configure:6912: result: yes
so a BLODA interference is possible
