On installing linux_base now I get the following error; checking for working makeinfo... found checking for gcc... cc checking whether the C compiler (cc -O -pipe ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. ===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly. Please report the problem to nakai@FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the "/usr/ports/archivers/rpm/work/rpm-3.0.6/config.log" including the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls /var/db/pkg`). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/archivers/rpm. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base. I tried to compile a simple program which worked fine. How would I go about tracking this problem down? --
