configure: error: Objective C compiler cannot create executables

Question

I'm having trouble installing TikZit. When I run ./configure I get this message: configure: error: Objective C compiler cannot create executables

Hope you guys can help me. Here is the config.log

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by TikZiT configure 1.0, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure

I've looked for this problem around the forum but it appears there are lots of things that can cause this.
