configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

RLH1919 · 11-13-2009, 07:40 AM

I am trying to install clamav 0.95.2 from slackBuilds on my slack64 13 box and I get this error when I try to install it:
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: in `/tmp/SBo/clamav-0.95.2':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

I checked the log and found:
configure:3326: checking for gcc
configure:3342: found /usr/bin/gcc
configure:3353: result: gcc
configure:3585: checking for C compiler version
configure:3593: gcc --version >&5
gcc (GCC) 4.3.3

The version of GCC I have is 4.3.3 and I'm guessing in the config it is looking for version 5?
I couldn't find where to change this or if I need to for a proper install. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

and read this first:

In order to compile ClamAV (or use other SlackBuild scripts from http://slackbuilds.org) you do not have to install 32-bit Multilib compatibility at all.

Just set the value of the ARCH variable in the SlackBuild script to "x86_64".

The error you describe is typical of a compilation effort where the script has ARCH incorrectly set to "i486".

Please read http://slackbuilds.org/faq/#x86_64 to get a better understanding of using our scripts on 64-bit Slackware.
