problem with ./configure and c

[lolium]

I am Currently trying to install HBasic but when i try compile the source code it gives me a c error

Here is what i type in terminal

lolium@lolium-desktop:~/Desktop/HBasic-2007-2a$ ./configure

This is the error I received

checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... 
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

And i can't work out the problem from the config log

How do i get this to compile properly??

Cheers

Lolium

Hi, have you got the 'build-essential' package installed? If you have not got it installed you can install it from the terminal with

sudo apt-get install build-essential
