./configure errors out. Cannot create executable

[theplop]

checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

any help would be appreciated.
I do have GCC, running on a slackware 10 box.

here is the config.log (the relavant info anyways)

gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory

i realize thats the error, but i have no clue what " 'as " is.... hence why i asked for help.

Possibly a reinstall of gcc will sort it.

As far as i remember it was a problem with missing glibc-devel package installed.

[De Kus]

as is the (GNU) assembler which is part of the (GNU) binutils.

[theplop]

thanks for the tips.
i installed binutils-2.15.92.0.2-i486-3, and it took care of the `as problem.

It errored out again with limits.h, i fixed that with kernel-headers-2.4.32-i386-1

thanks guys for pointing the way.

Well, i thought all was well, i was wrong....
everything goes great until the end.

Code: Select all

Eggdrop successfully compiled:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 699617 2006-01-28 16:08 eggdrop

Modules successfully compiled:
ls: *.so: No such file or directory
make: *** [modules] Error 1

If i do do a "make install" after that i get problems with missing .so files...
so i know it wasn't installed right.

i have been googling and searching the BB's for a while trying to find a solution...

any help would be great.
