D.gnu - C compiler cannot create executables?

I keep getting the following error on two newly set up Debian testing

Somehow, this error does not occur on my work box, where I run Ubuntu 
10.04.  I have no idea what the difference is.  Below is my (very 
quick-and-dirty) build script, mostly cut and pasted from the GDC wiki.

Have you searched for the error in config.log? That basically means that the default set of options that configure is using is causing GCC to get an error.

My bet is that the error is along the lines of "Cannot find cc1". If that is the case, it means you have the current directory (".") in your path. You need to remove it. Jerome --=20 mailto:jeberger free.fr http://jeberger.free.fr Jabber: jeberger jabber.fr

For Debian/Ubuntu, you also need to consider that they've been experimenting with multiarch system for 32 and 64bit, which requires special patches to GCC so that it can find the correct locations of headers, libraries, etc. If you are using a vanilla GCC tarball to build, it may help if you put the following in your .bashrc LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu CPATH=/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu export LIBRARY_PATH CPATH Regards Iain

Thanks. I ended up figuring out the same thing almost simultaneously. I solved it slightly differently by adding a few symlinks for important files to my /usr/lib and /usr/include/gnu directories.

Another way to fix this is apparently to just disable the bootstrap feature via --disable-bootstrap. It seems rather useless anyhow. Why should I care what my compiler was compiled with?
