it can be quite common actually ... :) check config.log or is it
configure.log ...that can sometime lead towards the answer. maybe its a
missing lib ..or the configure script is looking for a binary other then
"gcc", or the test generates undefined symbols ...
in any case..good luck debugging that ..problems like that can take
several hours to work around. i would suggest trying to get a RPM for
the program you want, and use alien to covert it to deb, remove any
existing copies of the program and install it, see if it works. be sure
to get an RPM for redhat 6.x distribution if your using potato as redhat
7 has the new glibc and the binarys may or may not run on potato.
