I am new to this environment and I am lost. I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and I have the source gateway-1.4.1 downloaded. I am trying to compile kannel and I get the following errors after I run ./configure: ... checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Is this an error caused by not having the Gnome-xml library installed? If it is, how do I install it? I've been out to the xmlsoft.org <http://xmlsoft.org> site and have come across several .rpm's. Which of these am I after and how do I install it / where do I put it?

Also, because I am attempting to mod an SMSC driver (I have not changed any code yet), I first attempted to simply run make and I got the following error:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.


In all of the documentation I have looked at I cannot see that I need to provide any args to "make" to compile this. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

Hi Tony,

You need to install the package "build-essential" on Ubuntu 7.10 in case you want to compile any package from source.

just hit "apt-get install build-essential" and repeat the process.

Regards.

Stephen



I addition to the build-essentials package you'll need the following for libxml2.

For the XML libraries do;

sudo apt-get install libxml2
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev

Btw, there is precompiled package for Kannel as well, but I don't know which version it is. If you want to try it you can do;

sudo apt-get install kannel

Good luck,

Arne
