Recently I got brave and installed the pgcc 1.03a compiler, from the RH5 rpms on Redhat's site. After toying with it for awhile I decided to uninstall pgcc. Disaster! I have removed both the pgcc and egcs RPMS, removed the /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu directory, ran ldconfig, and now installed the latest egcs1.03a compiler suite from Redhat's update section. Now I have apparently messed something up, since nothing that uses a configure script will compile anymore. Help! Here are a couple of examples (these compiled fine before I messed with the compilers) : [root AT syrinx kwave28]# configure loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i586-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i586-pc-linux-gnu checking build system type... i586-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for working aclocal... found checking for working autoconf... found checking for working automake... missing checking for working autoheader... found checking for working makeinfo... found checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for gcc... egcs checking whether the C compiler (egcs -O2 -Wall -s) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. [root AT syrinx kdebase-1.0]# configure creating cache ./config.cache checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one [root AT syrinx kdebase-1.0]# configure loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one
