Failed Compilations

Another failed compilation? As usual, you’re missing a library. I’ve listed here the minimum packages you should have to avoid problems.

If you get a message like this during compilation:

1

checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

This is typically the kind of error you might encounter. Install the following packages:

1

gcc libc6 libc6-dev make autoconf

Also consider:

1

glibc2 glibc2-dev

For Debian users like me:

1

apt-get install libc6 libc6-dev make autoconf glibc2 glibc2-dev
