Problem Compiling


I just installed Ubuntu 5.10 onto my computer and I am having troubles with compiling programs. I added extra repositories and installed a tool chain package I found and the newest version of GCC and and G++. When running "./configure" I get the following error message.
Code:
checking for C++ compiler default output... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
What does this mean and how would I go about fixing it? Thankyou for any help in advance.

Hmm, I'm not seeing any error messages in there. Can you compile a basic helloword.cpp program? What are the permissions on the directory you're compiling in? Are you sure you have libstdc++?
