Re: gnats installation error

[Adam Weremczuk]

Hi Chad
It was in July 2005...  I remember that I managed to solve this particular problem by just installing some libraries but no idea what libraries now. Any ideas what could it be?
I remeber that I got stuck on something else soon after and finally  gave up installing gnats. Is there any good step-by-step installation guide for gnats 4.0 (this time it's 4.0 not 4.1) except: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnats/doc/4_0_beta_snapshot/index.html ? Or maybe any latest more installation friendly gnats version that could reuse such files (created under gnats 4.0):

Hi, can somebody help me? My installation error:

address@hidden gnats-4.1.0]# ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc

compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
    

I ran across this type of error on a Macintosh OS X 10.3 machine
trying to run XCode 1.1.  There was a mismatch between the libraries
present on the system and the (10.3.x) and the headers and tools that
were being used (XCode 1.1, the bundle of gcc and family).  You may be
looking at something similar.

  

A fragment of the config.log file:

gcc version 3.3.5 (PLD Linux)
configure:1617: $? = 0
configure:1619: gcc -V </dev/null >&5
gcc: `-V' option must have argument
    

Odd.

  

configure:1622: $? = 1
configure:1645: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:1648: gcc    conftest.c  >&5
/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    

This would lead me to believe that the linker isn't able to find

  

configure:1651: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:

What version of GNU Make are you using?  Are you rebuilding the
configure file via autoconf, and if so, what versions are you using? 

I'll try to get some time to look at this today or tomorrow.  Good
luck!
