Compiler error: C compiler cannot create executables
Hi,
I am using Debian Woody on an AMD Duron PC. Things are running
smoothly, except that I can't compile anything.
When running any configure-script, I receive errors like the following:
=================================================
Latest PHP5 snapshot:
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
cannot create executables.
config.log:

=================================================
According to packages.debian.org, the file that is missing according to
the config.logs (crt1.o) is contained in the libc6-dev package. The file is
missing on my system, so I attempt to install it:
Isildur:/# apt-get install libc6-dev
...
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.2.5-11.2) but 2.3.1-9 is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
The above message confuses me, though. Does that mean that I have 2.2.5
installed
and need 2.3.1, or is it the other way around? And why can't I find the
file crt1.o?
Anyway, this is as far as I have come. Seems like I need to install something,
need to pass an option to the compiler or need to up/downgrade my libc6.
Does anyone have a clue?
