Squid on Debian GCC error.
Hi,
I'm new to this forum and to Linux. I have been a Sys Admin for a small library for 7 yrs using DOS, Win9x, NT 4, W2k, & WinXP. With all the security updates and viruses being a M$ tech is driving me crazy (enough of my ranting!). I have been working with Debian woody (2.4 kernal) and a Library DB called Koha and it has been a learning experience. I now have been asked to investigate filtering solutions (Library funding being what it is, Linux and Open Source is the only choice). I have installed Debian woody (2.4) and proceeded to try to install Squid. When running ./configure I get the following error: xxxx:/home/xxx/squid-2.5.STABLE5# ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for mawk... mawk checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc -g) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. xxxx:/home/xxx/squid-2.5.STABLE5# Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA |
which gcc are you using and isn't STABLE5 there on the distr.? ore do you need special features?
maybe gcc isn't installed proberly since gcc -g is (i think) for errorreporting and should work. |

>maybe gcc isn't installed proberly since gcc -g is (i think) for errorreporting and should work. I'm running woody (minimum install ie no GUI) I used apt-get install gcc to install it and retried it and apt-get told me that the was no update for it soooo ........(& here comes a bad word) I "assume" that it installed correctly. I know that there has to be a way to check ithe install but I haven't found it yet. |
Squid
I want to thank mritch for his/her reply. It just goes to show how much of a newbie I am. I had not thought about squid being a package that is part of the distro. I used apt-get to get and install squid with no problems.........(too many yrs using M$ where everything is separate and costs $)
Thanks again. |
no prob. fine it's working.
