Hi,

My Slack system has been updated since 9.0 now current (with swaret) i always could compile from source but yesterday i try to compile something with #sh configure (as usual) and i got this error:

root@Zer0Slack:/home/anibal/tmp/guarddog-2.3.1# /bin/bash ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c
checking for -p flag to install... yes
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk

checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.

i'm using gcc 3.3.3 & i have every page needed to compile (i always use to compile)

this is is the log of config.log:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure

Any one any idea ? i really need to compile a program & i can't get out of this.. this is the first time in my life i get this strange thing :-(

It says
configure:2643: ./a.out
./configure: line 1: ./a.out: Permission denied
So it looks when a program is compiled it can't be started. Do you have umask set in a special way?
I'd make a small C file, example
Then compile it using 'gcc progname.c' and try to run (output should be a.out). Does it print 'Hello world' or produce an error?

do you HAVE g++ and gcc and all their dependencies installed???
how do you use swaret, cause everything works fine on my pc.

Thanks for the replay.. i did this test already.. got permission deny can compile the c code but can't run the a.out get permission denay (also as root)

Can't you read ? yes i have everything on my workstation... i told this before..

How do the permissions on that new file look like? Run ls -l a.out in the directory you have it in.
