Hi,

Well after weeks of faild attempts of installing Debian Sarge, i finally got it installed. I love it. Altho it is a bit hard to master a few things i found simple in other distos. I even wiped out my 80GB secondary HD today and i did not even realise

Anyways, i have been having a problem for some time now when i try to compile a programe under debian. I was trying to compile a programe i downloaded and i get the folling error;

localhost:~/gift-0.11.4# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
localhost:~/gift-0.11.4#

I have GCC installed, I have googled half way across the know universe to find out what is wrong. Lots of diffrent people say diffrent things.

But i still dont have an answer...... Im sure it is something really easy.

I would like to get this resolved as soon as possible as Debian is the only OS in my computer. Havent touched widows for over a year now

And the other Distos bore me now as they dont offer the flexability of debian.

Thanks in advance

same problem here as i'm trying to install binutils in my lfs os.
make LDFLAGS="-all-static"

reders the same error messages. Won't someone please help!?

Well it would seem the the problem is that i did not G++ installed, Rico maybe the same for you too..... try apt-get install g++

I have some other problems now, but i will see if i can solve them myself. If not ill be back soo ;-)
