Problem with gcc: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executable
I get this error even though I have gcc

Not sure about this, but maybe you need glibc-devel as well.

Thanks, but I get the same error:
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. linux:~/ettercap-NG-0.7.2 # rpm -q glibc glibc-2.3.3-97 |
Is it saying its not working because it can't find the file conftest.c ? How do I get that file?
Using built-in specs. Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr --with-local-prefix=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,objc,java,ada --disable-checking --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-libgcj --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/g++ --with-slibdir=/lib --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit i586-suse-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809) configure:2808: $? = 0 configure:2810: gcc -V </dev/null >&5 gcc: `-V' option must have argument configure:2813: $? = 1 configure:2836: checking for C compiler default output file name configure:2839: gcc conftest.c >&5 gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1': No such file or directory configure:2842: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h. */ |
Hi Abefroman,
It is saying you don't have cc1 which must be on /usr/lib/gcc-lib/<your-distrbution>/3.3.4/ directory. The file conftest.c is created by "configure" which is a shell script. Be sure you have a recent ethercap package. This appears to be some incompatibility between your configure and the gcc compiler. The first mistake the script does is "gcc -V". I suppose the correct option is "-v" (lower case) which informs the compiler version and the directory where the compiler specs are. You may try to hack the configure script changing the case of the option and look the result. Good luck, Osvaldo. |
