Cannot install ANYTHING!

ludeKing · 08-17-2003, 06:28 PM

Hi all,

After a fresh FULL reinstall of Slackware 9.0, I am still having troubles installing drivers and programs.
I have attempted to install the Alsa Drivers for my VIA 8233 AC97 audio chip, and I am following the instructions given.

Code:

 In a shell type these commands:

 Make a directory to store the alsa source code in.

        cd /usr/src
        mkdir alsa
        cd alsa
        cp /downloads/alsa-* .

 Now unzip and install the alsa-driver package:

       bunzip2 alsa-driver-xxx
        tar -xf alsa-driver-xxx
        cd alsa-driver-xxx
        ./configure --with-cards=via82xx --with-sequencer=yes;make;make install

and when I get to the ./configure part, I get this output.

Code:

root@stevo:/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.6# ./configure --with-cards=via82xx --with-sequencer=yes;make;make install
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
make all-deps
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.6'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all-deps'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.6'

Please, run the configure script as first...

rm -f /snd*.o /persist.o /isapnp.o
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.6/support'
Makefile:9: ../Makefile.conf: No such file or directory
Makefile:27: /Rules.make: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/Rules.make'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.6/support'
make: *** [install-modules] Error 1

So I try running the ./configure line a diff way and I get this:

Code:

root@stevo:/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.6# ./configure --with-cards=via82xx --with-sequencer=yes && make && make install
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Then I try running the configure script on its own, and here is what I get:

Code:

root@stevo:/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.6# ./configure --with-cards=via82xx --with-sequencer=yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
root@stevo:/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.6#

How do I install programs! What must I be missing?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Steve.

These following commands should fix it right up

Be in the directory where you unzipped the files and type one of the following commands:

#make

or

#make install

what is the output of errors from the config.log file?
it looks like a case of missing C Library: Development Libraries and Header Files.
make sure you have the glibc-devel package installed matching your glibc version...this is the most common reason for this error..

oh and tearinox, that will not solve his problem....

what would the glibc dev package look like, ie, what would its version number be. ie glibc-dev-2.3.1 etc......
I have glibc-2.3.1-i386-3 and a few glib packages associated with it.

bump, anyone?
