[igraph] some trouble compiling igraph in SL 5.3 with R 2.12.1

[Lisa Gerhardt]

Hi,
I'm having some trouble getting igraph to compile with R 2.12.1 in 
scientific linux 5.3. After downloading and untarring the source, I do

export CC=/usr/common/usg/gcc/4.7.0/bin/gcc
R CMD INSTALL igraph

I get this error:
* installing to library 
'/global/common/carver/usg/R/R-2.12.1/lib64/R/library'
* installing *source* package 'igraph' ...
checking for gcc... icc -std=c99
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in 
`/global/scratch2/sd/lgerhard/RtmpG5FC8q/downloaded_packages/igraph':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'igraph'
* removing '/global/common/carver/usg/R/R-2.12.1/lib64/R/library/igraph'

Looking in the config.log I see:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by igraph configure @VERSION@, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure

So it is picking up the gcc set in $CC, but seems to be ignoring it. Any 
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The full config.log is attached.

Thanks,
