I am trying to install a simple irc client.. wich gives me much trouble as a linux noob

Welcome to the BitchX-1.1-final configuration

checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

thats the error... and this is my config.log

running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.53. Invocation command line was

What distribution do you use? Try
locate gcc | egrep gcc$
and post result. Seems like you need installing gcc.

Well, try running gcc. I guess it'll not be found. So install gcc from installation CD (or download from Internet). I've never used SuSE, so I cannot give advice on YaST.

Then ask a new question in SuSE distribution forum with detailed description of the problem when installing gcc.
