trouble compiling
 

I am having troubel installing programs that have I have to compile. It seems that you need glibc installed and I have done that, but still run into this error with crt1.o

Anyone run into something like this??

Always comes up with an error saying that c ompiler cannot create executables

This is what the config log says:

root@MONITOR:/source/nagios-1.2# vi config.log
reading config.log
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

configure: failed program was:

/usr/lib/crt1.o seems to be installed by glibc package, have you checked if crt1.o exists in
your system ?
