Sarah,

It is just as Chuck says. What OS are you using? Assuming its a
GNU/Linux then the normal compiler is gcc. You can check you have it by
doing "which gcc" (this returns the path to the compiler, here it is
/usr/bin/gcc). If you are on Solaris then the compiler is cc so do a
"which cc".

I would be surprised if you do not need more options to your configure
line. Do you just need payflow pro or other extensions like a database?
Is a previous version of PHP already installed? If so you can put a
phpinfo.php file (containing just "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" under you
document root directory and look at the output. It will give the
configure options used.
