Hi,
My name is Einat, and I am applications engineer in the Silicon
Valley. I have Ubuntu - GNU GRUB error, that I would be very very
happy, if you may help me with. I am using GNU GRUB 0.97
in OS Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and I got an error when I was in a process
of building a boot loader stage 1. The “./configure” command
failed with the error: “C compiler cannot create executables ”.
The config.log file content indicate that “/usr/bin/ld: cannot
find -lgcc ” and that “configure: failed program was: | /*
confdefs.h. */”
I installed multiple tools / SW including:
- GCC 4:4.4.3-1ubuntu1 (GNC Complier).
- Automake 1:1.11.1-1 (tool for generating GNUS standards
compliant makefiles).
- binutils 2.20.1-3 ubuntu7.1 (GNU Assembler, Linker and binary
Utilities).
- aoutoconf 2.65-3 ubuntu1 (automatic configure script builder).
- texinfo 4.13a.dfsg.1-5ubuntu1 (documentation system for an
on-line information and printed output).
I issued the following steps:
_ ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-0.97.tar.gz
<ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-0.97.tar.gz>_ (grab the GRUB 0.97
from the web)
zcat grub-0.97.tar.gz | tar xv (unbundle GRUB)
cd grub-0.97
./configure
