Hi,

I am trying to compile amanda vers  2.4.3b2   on my solaris 2.6 box.

I am getting an error regarding the C Compiler not being able to create
executables.

I did a google search on the particular error and saw postings relating
to the absence of 'ar' and 'ld', both of which are present on my box.

Anyways:  

I run my configure command:

 ./configure --with-user=amanda --with-group=backup
--prefix=/usr/local/amanda --exec-prefix=/usr/local/amanda 

checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.6
............
.............
checking for gcc... /usr/local/bin/gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler
cannot create executables


I am running gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

ld and ar are both under /usr/local/bin, which is listed first in $PATH.

Going off of what config.log told me, there is an if statement in the
configure script that didn't get executed.
Before I dig any deeper into the configure script, I want to find out if
this is something more obvious that I could easily fix.


Any ideas?



Thanks,


Rich Quinn
