"Cannot create executables" errors typically occur when something needed in a compiler test is missing on a system, or a library of the wrong architecture from outside of your Fink tree is getting linked, but there's no way to tell what the problem is just from the console output. Check the config.log file at point(s) where it it mentions "checking for C compiler default output file name" and it should give an actual error message from the command - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkzWF9AACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ+QWwCfU+G1PCFjlbCss6Nx8glJja0e xPwAniK9ccs7QY2sLN2nukTAwqdG06ne =5Yna -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
