C compiler problem

[leupi]

Warning: Linux newbie here :)

 

I am trying to install a program, not really interested in the app itself but I need the practice. When I try to run ./configue I get this error:

 

[tparks@192 xmahjongg-3.6.1]$ ./configure

loading cache ./config.cache

checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr//bin/install -c

checking whether build environment is sane... yes

checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes

checking for working aclocal... missing

checking for working autoconf... missing

checking for working automake... missing

checking for working autoheader... missing

checking for working makeinfo... missing

checking for gcc... gcc

checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no

configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

 

I went back to mcc and installed all of the development tools but that did not help. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Do you have gcc-3.4.1 and gcc-cpp-3.4.1 installed? You should also make sure you have automake and autoconf installed.

In additon to what Dyslexic points, you may also want to have installed the texinfo pacakge for that makeinfo missing;

 

Next time you have such program you can use the urpmf tool to find which rpm packages provide such programs (in the form <package>:<program>), for example, this is what I would have done after such output:

aru@mandrakeusers ~$ for program in aclocal autoconf automake autoheader makeinfo gcc; do urpmf 'bin/'$program; done
automake1.9:/usr/bin/aclocal-1.9
autoconf2.5:/usr/bin/autoconf
autoconf2.5:/usr/bin/autoconf-2.5x
automake1.9:/usr/bin/automake-1.9
autoconf2.5:/usr/bin/autoheader
autoconf2.5:/usr/bin/autoheader-2.5x
texinfo:/usr/bin/makeinfo
gcc:/usr/bin/gcc-3.4.1
gcc:/usr/bin/gcc3.4-version

so install the packages listed and their dependences
