That means that configure can not find a C-compailer. Two 
Possibilities: You do not have one installed --> install one. There 
should be rpm's vor Mandrake so that this is a easy task. Or you have 
problems with your $PATH. try gcc, cc as ordanary user, as root, try 
"locate cc | grep bin", an the and try "find / -name '*cc' -print. If 
you find a (g)cc add it to your path before running configure.

Hang on:
Does Mandrake use kgcc?! Which is a other C-Compailer. In this case a 
"setenv CC kgcc" (or "export CC=kgcc" depending on your shell) before 
configure may help. Or link (ln -s ....) gcc to kgcc (which is ugly).

Not so fast!
After a successfull ./configure, a sucessfull make and a sucessfull 
make install, there is to configure samba, start the damons, and 
then, finaly: log on, mount shares, .....

Good luck!
