What does config.log say? Did you get any errors during install?

Try installing the packages in d/ from the first slack disk using something like: upgradepkg -reinstall /mnt/cdrom/slackware/d/*.tgz

If you're doing KDE stuff, you will need Qt from kde/ and possibly if you're doing some low-levelish things, the kernel headers (also kept in d/ i believe).

Let us know how it goes,

guys why are you makin it so complicated? never used linux before? just try to get things straight..

sharathg786 just try installing build-essential package and everything will be fine

apt-get install build-essential

Slackware doesn't have a "build-essential" package, nor does it use apt-get. There is a sort of port of apt-get (called slapt-get), though.

Look at your CFLAGS environment variable. Do you set it globally? Or do you use a SlackBuild that was written for Slackware-current (slackware-11.0)?

This error occors on Slackware 10.2 and earlier if your CFLAGS contain "-mtune=i686". The "tune" optimalisation flag is something for the modern gcc of Slackware 11.0 but for your box you should be using the older "cpu" flag, like in:
Code:
-mcpu=i686
