Please don't number the lines or insert a tab in front of them - it wastes space. It's perfectly acceptable to paste a block of lines, which will be easier for you if you are using a mouse. > > 13. configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables > 14.

I was going to point out that if configure reports the C compiler cannot create executables (on a linux system) it seems pretty likely that gcc is involved, and I was going to ask for details of the error message immediately before this when configure tried to compile the code fragment and failed. But on balance I think you have answered this below. > I also did the bash version check > > 3. bash, version 4.2.24(1)-release > 4. /bin/sh -> /bin/dash /bin/sh should be symlinked to /bin/bash : dash is unlikely to be good enough. > 25. version-check.sh: line 30: makeinfo: command not found > 26.
