C compiler cannot create executables

[Webmaster]

Hi everybody.       Hans     I have a problem with mod_ssl 2.8.9 for Apache 1.3.26. When I try to configure this module for compilation (# configure --with-apache=/var/tmp/apache_1.3.26 ) it gives the following error: Configuring mod_ssl/2.8.9 for Apache/1.3.26  + Apache location: /var/tmp/apache_1.3.26 (Version 1.3.26)  + Auxiliary patch tool: ./etc/patch/patch (local) ./configure:Error: Building of 'patch' tool failed: ------------------------------------------------- x patch/rename.c, 1323 bytes, 3 tape blocks x patch/util.c, 9365 bytes, 19 tape blocks x patch/util.h, 2325 bytes, 5 tape blocks x patch/version.c, 280 bytes, 1 tape blocks x patch/version.h, 25 bytes, 1 tape blocks loading cache ./config.cache checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. make: *** No targets.  Stop. ------------------------------------------------- Hint: Either try to build 'patch' under etc/patch/ Hint: manually and re-run this 'configure' script Hint: or provide us the path to your vendor 'patch' Hint: program via the --with-patch=FILE option (but Hint: expect perhaps failures when applying patches!) My OS is Solaris 8 and I have tested it with two versions of gcc : 9.95.2 and 3.1 I had no problems with the installation of apache 1.3.20 and mod_ssl 2.8.4 Did anybody experienced this problem and have found a solution?   Thanks in advance.   Oscar.
