agent install problem

[jaxxm]

hi all

I am trying to install zabbix agent on a redhat 5.2 server. I have done this on a few system with no trouble whatsoever. however on 2 system (they are clones) I am having trouble. When i compile

./configure --enable-agent

i get

checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

and when i check the config.log file i find

configure:2855: gcc conftest.c >&5
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.so when searching for -lc
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.a when searching for -lc
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:2858: $? = 1

The system is a Redhat 5.2 vm on ESXi4 running on a Dell Blade server.

I have tried a number of things including updating GCC but am running in to all sorts of dependency problems.

could someone please help

do you have glibc-devel for the proper architecture installed ?

hi richlv

I checked and i have

rpm -aq | grep glibc
glibc-devel-2.5-24
glibc-2.5-24
glibc-2.5-42
glibc-headers-2.5-24
glibc-common-2.5-42

on the one server. I am trying to install it on the servers one at a time.

I have had similar problems in the past. What I ended up doing was

yum remove gcc, then

yum update yum, then

yum install gcc, then

yum resolvedep gcc
