C Compiler

Okay...i just installed redhat 7.2 on my system...whenever i try
./configure for any program it recognizes the I have gcc, but then it
looks for my C compiler and can't find it. I really don't know what the
deal is. It outputs...

checking whether the C Comiler works(gcc )...No

C Comiler cannot create execetables
