Postgres older version 8.3.7 on ubuntu 14

Good Morning,

checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking which template to use... linux
checking whether to build with 64-bit integer date/time support... no
checking whether NLS is wanted... no
checking for default port number... 5432
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

See `config.log' for more details.

I am able to perform the 8.4 version with the following documents.
