It was created by gtk+ configure 2.4.3, which was

Looks like the problem is with ld, the linker. What version of ld do you have? Looks like it's choking on one of the options passed to it. Can you compile this simple C program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
puts("Hello");
return 0;
}

Copy it into a file foo.c and do "gcc foo.c -o foo" (no quotes) and see if it produces an executable called foo that you can run. If it reports a linker error, there's some problem between your compiler and your linker.

yeah, it reports the error
then how to solve the problem
thanks

Aioria

got it
i upgrade my gcc to a proper version and all is ok now
