I thought I would go back to installing xastir with a tar ball...don't know if I am comfortable with debian binaries in kbuntu. Anyway when I ran configure I got something I haven't seen before and this is it: checking for C compiler default output file name....configure: error: C compiler cannot
create executables
What is that all about.

Maybe you don't have a C compiler set up, or there are libraries missing that cause the C compiler to puke on the test program that configure produces.

Did you go through all the steps in the wiki page HowTo:Ubuntu 7.04? One of
the first steps is:
  sudo  apt-get install build-essential

which should make sure you've got everything needed to get past that line of
configure.  There are lots of other steps.

If that's not the issue, you can look in the file "configure.log" that is produced as a by-product of running configure. In there you'll find the actual error message given by the C compiler that caused configure to conclude
that the C compiler can't produce executables.

Sorry, I thought I had done the build-essential but it was obvious that I hadn't. Things seem to have compiled ok. Thanks.
Jim
