gcc cannot create executables?!

Hello,

I've just installed gcc for the first time, in order to compile programs.

On the first test drive of gcc, here's what I got:

Code:

linux:/home/Nectron/Documents/Programs/gtk+-2.8.0 # ./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)... no
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for native Win32... 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.

The log file:

Code:

configure:2099: result: no
configure:2153: checking for gcc
configure:2169: found /usr/bin/gcc
configure:2179: result: gcc
configure:2423: checking for C compiler version

What could be the problem? What should I do?

Please respond, it's the first time I run gcc on a linux machine! I'm pretty excited and have a bunch of software to install tonight!

Thanks in advnace

You havn't installed everything you need ... how did you install gcc?
(On SuSE you should be using YaST.)

To install source tarballs, you also need things like gnu-make.

Yeah probally ahve to reinstall GCC though if you installed it through whatever package manager suse uses it should be right. Is it possible to try another package manager ?
