[root@strimpglobal courier-authlib-0.56]# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gawk... (cached) gawk
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.


This also happened when I tried to install expect, only the error was something along the lines of:

Checking if gcc works... no

The config.log file is as follows:
