Did you look inside config.log, or consider attaching it to this message?
 Although most Linux distributions come with gcc already installed, did
you check that you have a compiler installed and on your PATH?  Which
distribution of Linux are you using?  Would using a pre-compiled m4 from
your distribution be a wiser course of action, until you are more familiar
with Linux?
