Solaris compiler setup ?

[David Holmes]

When I run configure on Solaris it can't find the "needed compilers".

checking if this is a cross compile... no
checking for cl... no
checking for cc... cc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables...
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... no
checking whether cc accepts -g... yes
checking for cc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
`tty`: Ambiguous
checking for cl... no
checking for CC... CC
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no
checking whether CC accepts -g... yes
`tty`: Ambiguous
configure: error: Could not find the needed compilers!

It finds CC, which is in my path at:

/java/devtools/i386/SUNWspro/SS12u1/bin/CC

What is it looking for? config.log shows:

configure:10084: checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler
