Hi everybody!
Tried to compile fvcool, but ./configure gave me the following:

[root@frank FVCool103]# ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[root@frank FVCool103]#

What can I do?

Hi try to install the packages ...task-c-devel task-c++-devel
apt-get install task-c-devel task-c++-devel

Seee yaaaaaaaa!!!!

I am also receiving this error. I am attempting to compile "less"

Here is the output of config.log:

I attempted to apt-get the packages you mentioned above; however I am not able to locate them. What apt source houses those packages?

Let me know if you have any suggestions... thanks!

Hey friend,
I have no idea about apt sources. Sorry,

It's not an apt issue that I'm having... The apt question was to a previous post who suggested using a Debian package installation app called apt-get.

My main issues is with the error I get when trying to ./configure any source.

Thanks!

Hi....in debian systems run tasksel and select the metapackage C Development Environment and C++ , to fix this errors.
