Help with compiling...

[dyslexik]

Hi there...

I'm trying to compile the epplets-base package and I get an error running ./configure when checking the C compiler, the message reads:

checking whether the C compiler (gcc -o) works... no
configure: error: installation of configuration problem: C oompiler cannot create executables.

Can someone shed some light on what's going on? I thought the gcc -O option turned on optimization. I'm running RH 7.0 and version 2.96 of gcc.

Thanks in advance...

did you install glibc and the glibc-devel packages?

FYI - RedHat 7 has a buggy devel version of gcc... their non-buggy stable is kgcc, I'd recommend dropping down to 6.2 if you want the best RedHat has to offer (which isn't much)...
