configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables


I am trying to get Net-SNMP to work with LM_Sensors, and so far, it has been a fruitless fight. LM_Sensors is working fine, and Net-SNMP is working fine, but I see nothing from LM_Sensors even when I do an snmpwalk showing every bit of information available. I have followed more than one howto to no avail. I am trying to compile a version of Net-SNMP so it will work, and this is the command and error that I get:
Code:
[09:32:17] admin@ded-1.amkh.com - ~/net-snmp-5.3> sudo ./configure --with-mib-modules=ucd-snmp/lmSensors --with-ldflags=lsensors
checking what to build and install...  agent apps man local mibs
using default "enterprise.net-snmp"
using default enterprise sysOID "NET-SNMP-MIB::netSnmpAgentOIDs..."
using default notifications "NET-SNMP-MIB::netSnmpNotifications"
using OS default send buffer size for server sockets
using OS default recv buffer size for server sockets
using OS default send buffer size for client sockets
using OS default recv buffer size for client sockets
checking if I need to feed myself to ksh... 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.
Also, it should be noted that if I leave off the "--with-ldflags-lsensors" compilation will complete just fine. Finally, this is the output from config.log:
Code:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by Net-SNMP configure 5.3, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --with-mib-modules=ucd-snmp/lmSensors --with-ldflags=lsensors

I apologize for starting with such a large post, but I don't know where to begin to troubleshoot (beyond a few basic things I already did try [sort of shooting in the dark]). Any help greatly appreciated.

EDIT: After searching some more, I found sample test.c programs to try to compile. gcc successfully created executables that worked fine, but it returned this error in the process:
Quote:
test.c:3: warning: return type of 'main' is not `int'
Anyway, I'm no closer to a solution, but I thought I might bypass what appears to be a typical first response to this problem by adding this info. Thanks.

That looks like a bug in the configure process. It should really be -lsensors where it shows just "lsensors".

That did it. Talk about simple. I don know if I typoed or if the directions I saw were for an older version, but the install went smoothly. I still can get LM_Sensors data from SNMP, though. Figures.
