Base-devel is installed, yet packages won't compile?

smartboyathome · 2009-06-29 14:44:16

I am trying to compile several pacakges, yet they hang on "configure: error: C++ [or C] compiler cannot create executables". I have tried reinstalling all of base-devel and everything, but it still doesn't work. Am I missing something?

EDIT: It is something wrong with makepkg, as when I compile manually it works fine.

Probably you are trying to install to the root system not $pkgdir . makepkg uses fakeroot so you can't write files to the root system directly .

That isn't the problem. That message is given during ./configure in a folder I have full permissions to (it is in my home folder). To me, it looks like some C compiler stuff isn't being set right.

What are you trying to compile?

check config.log for the error message.

Nted is one example. I ran the exact same code inside the PKGBUILD and outside manually and it worked outside, but not inside.

Here it is, all I could get out of it was posted above, "C++ compiler cannot create executables".

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

It was created by nted configure 1.6.0, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.63.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --prefix=/usr
