configure on a P4?

I'm using Slackware 7.1 on VMWare with Postgresql 7.1
When i do a ./configure it stops with this message:

checking host system type... Invalid configuration 'i?86-pc-linux-gnu':
machine 'i?86-pc' not recognized

Any ideas on this and how to solve it?

You need to put something in place of the '?'. E.g.,

configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu ... other options ...

Either your uname program is not set up to handle P4's yet, or VMWare is
messing something up. Please report this to either of these two entities.
