gcc issue !!

moata_u · 06-20-2011, 02:55 PM

i was trying install top utility , and i got the following error :

Code:

 checking build system type... i386-pc-solaris2.10
checking host system type... i386-pc-solaris2.10
checking target system type... i386-pc-solaris2.10
checking for make... no
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... 
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

so after downloading gcc and try install i got the following error :

Code:

./configure: gcc: not found
./configure: gcc: not found
*** The command 'gcc -o conftest -g   conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.

Please advice !!!!!

Well that should have worked,

there are some slightly different ways that might work.

First locate cc 'whereis cc' likely it is in /usr/bin and is a link pointing to gcc. try CC=/usr/bin/gcc

If you still fail try cc := gcc to prevent recursion, however you would need to add that to Makefile.am I believe.

Finally you could try export cc=/usr/bin/gcc

that would put it into the environment

type env afterwards to see if it is there if you still have the error I am sorry I can't help more.

In the initial post the program not found was make

checking for make... no
checking for gcc... gcc

so you did not need to re-install gcc as it was there, what was missing is make.

Where dod you download gcc from?

If that download came with uninstallation instructions, follow them.

Then run:

Code:

apt-get purge gcc
apt-get install build-essential

Installing software manually without your package manager and almost never a good idea.

That's a site for SW to run on Solaris, not Linux.
@OP; exactly what OS are you using?
If it IS Solaris, use the Report button to ask the Mods to move this to the Solaris Forum.

To me, this

Quote:

i386-pc-solaris2.10

means it's designed for a 32 bit x86 chip running Solaris 10.
