C compiler cannot create executables on fresh install

zoqaeski · 2011-10-03 16:11:16

This has happened to me twice now on this laptop. Straight after installing my system and the packages from my saved cache, I try to build a few of my AUR packages, only to be told that the compiler can't create executables. Somehow I fixed it the last time and I can't remember what I did. Purging gcc hasn't helped.

I don't have a fast (or even reliable) internet connection, so I can't do a system upgrade as I've got a limit of < 250 MB.

For the record, I'm trying to compile pacman-color, and this is what I get:

And this is config.log

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by pacman configure 3.5.4, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.68.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --disable-doc

I'm at a loss as to how I can get this working again, or why it happens in the first place.

pacman -Syu base-devel, as the wiki clearly states?

btw: partial updates doesn't work with binary based rolling release distroes. Either update the system or use a fixed release distro.

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.6.1/cc1: error while loading shared libraries: libcloog-isl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is one of the problems you will get when you have a partialy updated system. (or use pacman -S/R -dd)
