Hi Jason,
With these latest changes, MOAB compiles fine for me. 
Thank you,
Iulian

New Revision: 3890

Modified:
   MOAB/trunk/config/compiler.m4
Log:
Fix previous checkin.  Do same changes differently to work around autoconf issues.


Autoconf issues:
  o AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, etc. cannot be specified more than once
    in the configure script.  For example, the following:
       if test "$myvar" = "yes"; then 
         AC_PROG_CC
       else
         AC_PROG_CC
       fi
    will result in a broken configure if myvar != yes.
    Sometimes autoconf is just bizare.
  
  o AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, etc. cannot be called with an
    empty list.  They can be called with no arguments at all,
    though.  E.g. 'AC_PROG_CC' works fine, as does
    'AC_PROG_CC([gcc cc])', but 'myvar=; AC_PROG_CC([$myvar])'
    will not work.
  
  o If AC_CHECK_PROGS is used to set the value of $CC, then
    some autoconf macros will use that value even if $CC is
    modified immediately after the call to AC_CHECK_PROGS.
    This does not appear to be the case for any variables other
    than $CC
