Hey,

Have you checked the config.log?

Are there any more details in there?

apt-get install libc6-dev

Hey penagate,

I am still getting used to the output of compile scripts, so wasn't able to help the OP in this case, and I am curious...

Where did you pull that from? What made you suggest that they install that?

Gary

Experience. :(


A message like "C compiler cannot create executables" suggests something is broken with the host system. Usually on Linux this means packages are missing.

I then Googled to find the Debian package for gcc compilation.


On Red Hat-based systems the equivalent would be something like
# yum install glibc-devel


When installing a Linux distro you are usually given an option to install packages required for compiling programs from source.

Ah, I see what you mean.

I run a Centos system so the gcc devel package is different to the one you posted for Debian, hence why I didn't click.

Still getting used to Linux, it is a steep learning curve, especially when you start compiling from source.

Thanks for the tip!!

Gary
