After downloading the package archive and verifying the signature, I used these commands in Terminal:
cd ~/Downloads/gpa-0.9.0 && ./configure && make && make check && make install
and got this:
“checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.”
followed by the command prompt.

…but I know gcc can create C executables, because I've compiled a C project before in Xcode (which uses gcc) and I got (surprise!) a *nix executable. What gives?

Potentially helpful information:
OS: Okay, so I'm not *really* running this, but for these purposes it's probably the same, so just work with me as if I were running Mac OS X/Snow Leopard/7 (v10.6.7) . (I'm legally bound not to say what OS I'm really running. Don't ask.)
Kernel: Darwin Kernel Version 11.0.0 i386
Processor: 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM: 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3
I'm happy to provide any more system information that might be helpful in solving this problem (within reason and not counting OS version info) .
