libxine1c2 - C compiler cannot create executables

[jgoshorn]

Thanks for reading this. . .

I'm trying to compile libxine1c2 and get the following error:
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

The config.log reads in part:

configure:2523: $? = 0
configure:2525: gcc -v </dev/null >&5

I welcome suggestions as to how to fix this. Thanks in advance.

i have the same problem and can't figure out what's wrong, i pdkg-reconfigured anything i could and still have the same problem, i have the same problem with anything i try to dpk-build. make, and so ld, works for programs i compile from the tar.gz it must be some dpkg-build bug
i added the backports to my sources.list maybe it's the source of the problem
help please !!!

I had the same problem after just installing make and gcc. Ran the code suggested by gord and I could compile. I was trying to compile the meanwhile plugin for gaim so I can use my Linux desktop to connect to the Lotus Sametime servers.

Hi all,
I am running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS from my PenDrive on Compaq presario v6211au notebook.
I was unable to compile reSIProcate as it said "C compiler can not create executables".
doing
<code>
sudo apt-get install build-essential
</code>

solved my problem.

Thnaks Ubuntu Community.

Thank you, this worked for me. It was my first attempt at a build and I could not have done it without your help.
