When I issue the command ./configure when installing
POSTGRESQL I encounter the error
"configure: error: No acceptable C compiler found in
PATH "
Can someone advice me on what to do with this error.

Thank you!

um... we're going to need a little more info to help, like your OS for
starters. Also do you know if you have a copy of gcc or any other
compiler on the system? If so what version?

For starters, you can supply us with some pertinent information:
1) What machine are you running this on? In particular what OS? (Windows?
Linux? Sun?)
2) What version of the OS are you using?
3) What C compiler do you expect it to use?
4) What version of PostgreSQL are you trying to install?

Sounds like you don't have a C compiler in your $PATH.  You need one,
or you can't compile C programs.  Install one, or adjust your $PATH
to include it.

... I had this problem on Solaris...  I can't remember which cc it
found first in my path, but whatever it was, use the other one and
you'll get past this (/usr/ucb, iirc... those were dark days that I
try to forget) ... if you're on slowaris that is.  -sc
