You need to install the Development packages for your distro to be able to compile anything.

um Im using redhat 7.1 ... how would I do that without reinstalling or would it be faster to just reinstall?

I think you can just boot into the installation cd's and choose to do an upgrade of the system, then you just go and install any packages you missed. It should be easier than that.. in Suse you use Yast2, and that one has a section called 'software' and there you can go into the package selection screen instantly.

I think you need gcc package or you can try this
CC=gcc ./configure

Go with Wallex' suggestion, and select 'Upgrade'. That should work just fine.
