Compile problem

[jgorres]

Good morning, everybody,

I am trying to compile zabbix 1.8.3 under Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS
I use the following command:

./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-jabber --with-libcurl # for MySQL + Jabber + WEB monitoring

The shell returns:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
configure: Configuring
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... (cached) yes
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
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.

config.log states:

|
|   ;
|   return 0;
| }
configure:2916: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

[lines deleted by me, Jörn]

configure: exit 77

Can somebody please assist?

Kind regards,
Jörn.

Hi Walter,

For a Linux beginner not everything is obvious (however I knew the lmgtfy link before and I really appreciate it). It is just the second or third time I compiled a program myself.

Thanks, for your hint; it pointed me into the correct direction. I could solve all following problems (mainly missing libs).

So, Zabbix is running and all future question will concern how to use it ;-)

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,
Jörn.
