Hey Rich,

I was just curious if there might be some way to rig the configure  
script to detect this situation? As it is, any out-of-the-box build of  
Trilinos is going to fail in a stock Mac OS X development environment,  
which strikes me as a shame and probably somewhat avoidable. If  
there's no good way to detect this, maybe at least adding something  
about making sure CC != gcc could be added to that warning message  
that gets printed out:

  ***Almost always this error is caused by a typo in the list of  
configure arguments
that is not related to the math library.  Look especially for missing
quotes or hyphens in any value related to compiler flags or libraries...
