Typically, this is because the configure script can't figure out how to properly run the C compiler. On Solaris for instance, the native cc compiler is junk, so you typically have to set CC=gcc before running configure, or with some configure options. Your best bet is to see if you can figure out what its trying to run to determine this step, determine why it doesn't work (your path, what compiler it found and is trying to use, invalid parameters, etc.), and then either ask it nicely to use a better choice, or hack the script to use a better choice. -B > I have this problem that I think is related to the SPARC port of > FreeBSD, so I'm not sending this message to -misc. > > When configuring Berkeley DB 4.1.24 (by SleepyCat Software) I get > this error: > > checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C > compiler cannot create executables > > Well, any ideas? > > I need a Berkeley DB implementation for INN 2.3.3. gdbm also doesn't > work. > > -- > Al.
