I am starting to use Atmel AVR's and I want to try this program. http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/simulavr/

I am looking at other options as well.
While trying to compile the program, I have installed most of the devel and libs so I only get three or four error messages when running ./configure
One of them that I cannot find any answers to is where do I find ac_nonexitent.h. I have searched Google (31,800 hits) and I see
^ an 's' is missing, isn't it?
that this is a common question for many users but I never see an answer. Two days of looking and I am no closer to an answer. I did solve the issue with vfork.h (use unistd.h) this morning. :)
As others have asked in my searches, I have errors when compiling and trying to fix all the ./configure issues first.
Does configure exit cleanly or does it throw an error when this happens? I *think* that ac_nonexistent.h is something autoconf uses to test and isn't supposed to exist. (But I've not found that documented ATM.) I can tell you that a similar message is found in the config.log of some software I successfully build all the time.
What errors are you getting from make? It might be worth posting a link to the output from ./configure && make (and perhaps also the config.log file).
