I am trying to install a program using a ./configure script and I am getting the
following error.
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create
executables
Is this a problem with my compiler? Which is a version GCC that I downloaded from the
Mandrake 7.0 distribution.
Is it a problem with the ./configure script or the package I downloaded?
Also I am using Mandrake 6.1 so is it possibly an incompatibility between my version
and the GCC I have installed?
I have tried reinstalling the GCC. I have added the dependencies GCC-CPP and GCC-C++.
One problem I did have to begin with was that all the standard libraries could not be
found. Libraries such stdio.h and the like. I found them in the GLIBC library
directory so I copied them all to the /usr/library directory which seemed to fix that
problem.
The package by the way is KMPLOT from the KDE scientific applications directory.
Sorry for the essay.
Cheers
Warren
