That's not the correct procedure. export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/geotiff" is the correct thing. Using what you tried would force invalid arguments into the compilation command line, and result in the error you see. > ./configure --without-ax25 --with-geotiff --without-festival > > ./configure fails very early with the error "configure: error: C compiler > cannot create executables" > > Is there a better way to tell ./configure the location of the includes? > > Thanks, > > Dick > _______________________________________________ > Xastir mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "It's so simple to be wise: just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it." --- Sam Levinson _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
