Apart from the other advice which has been provided, you must execute the following either on the command-line or in your ~/.bash_profile prior to compiling AT:
    export AMBERHOME=/path/to/amber
In your case:
    export AMBERHOME=/Users/emily/amber11/amber11

In my case, I decided to place everything in /usr/local/amber11 although one could argue that it is safer from a Software Update point of view to place amber in your home or in /opt.
Please start by reviewing the suggestions at amberonmac.blogspot.com.

You probably will not find much difference in performance to use gcc vs icc for most projects involving ambertools.
Things should be very straightforward with gcc.
