As the error says, it appears that your C compiler doesn't work. You
can look in the config.log file for the error message that it threw
when configure tried to build a small Hello, World type example.
With XLC, this usually means that the license isn't properly
configured. I'd try making sure you can compile a small example
program, then go back to trying to build LAM/MPI.

Hope this helps,

Brian
