Slackware 9.0 install: GCC 3.2.2 compiling problems

[voltage2k]

I have an installation of Slackware 9.0 which has GCC 3.2.2. When I installed it I installed the Development package's default selections wrongly thinking it would let me ./configure everything. I keep getting a error when i type the ./configure command

This is the output:

root@freevo:/usr/tmp/alsa-driver-0.9.2# ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: D compiler cannot create executables
root@freevo:/usr/tmp/alsa-driver-0.9.2#


How do I fix this problem? This problem will not let me compile Lirc as well.

Thanks everybody

There should be log from configure that would give more detail, but at a guess, I'd make sure you have the glibc development libraries and kernel headers. Could be other things, too - it's hard to say.

1. Make sure all libraries and headers and whatnot are installed (as previously mentioned).
2. Make sure ld is setup correctly or set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
3. Check back after checking those things.

A good idea would be to just install everything in the development series :0)
