Look at config.log, but afaik all it usually tries to do there is compile
something..
So write some simple code..
ex:
#include <stdio.h>
int
main( void )
{
printf( "Hello world\n" );
return( 0 );
}
and try and compile it (gcc -o hello hello.c)
It shouldn't work.
You could also just try
"gcc -c hello.c" to see if it can do that and then link it:
gcc -o hello hello.o
I believe that is the process though if you do the "gcc -o hello hello.c" :)
Cheers,

Subject: [buug] Falling back to gcc 2.95
Hi,
I'm building a server for work and in our collective wisdom, we decided to
build mysql from source.
On www.mysql.com we saw a warning about using gcc 2.96 as follows:
"We recommend that MySQL be compiled with gcc 2.95"
...due to stability issues.
I installed (forced) the following:
gcc-2.95.3-1.i386.rpm
gcc-2.95.3-2.i386.rpm
glib-1.2.10-5.i386.rpm
glibc-2.2.4-13.i386.rpm
glibc-common-2.2.4-13.i386.rpm
and then typed:
# gcc -v
...and got back...
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
But when I begin configuring mysql, I slam against the following wall:
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem:
C compiler cannot create executables.
This is one of those places in life when actually knowing what you're
doing really would help :-)
Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks for sticking with me this far, reading this wannabe stuff.
Bill
