Errors during configure, PLEASE HELP

CoMteC17

My system is Solaris 8, sparc. I use Apache 1.3 and am trying to run the configure command. When I run the following:

configure --with-mysql=[path] --with-apxs=[path]

I get the following output:

loading cache ./config.cache
checking for Cygwin environment... no
checking for mingw32 environment... no
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8
checking for a BSD compatible install... ./install-sh -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... nawk
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

Can someone please explaing this to me.

Thanks,

this line says it all -

checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no

if your compiler isn't working you can't compile the source

gcc is the "gnu c compiler". you should be able to download it from the web again.

also, are you actually running the command -

configure --with-mysql=[path] --with-apxs=[path]

or are you replacing [path] with the path to mysql & apxs?

they are normally in -
/usr/local/apache
/usr/local/bin/mysql

Thanks for the quick response. To answer your questions, I am actually placing the path not the [path] into the command. Secondly, I seen the line where is states that the gcc doesnt work. I have just installed it and the package was successfull. Do you think I might have a bad package? Is there any configurations to make gcc work? Did I miss something?

If u are still having problems with you compile even after the install of gcc make sure you echo $PATH and the directory that u installed the gcc into is listed in that path it usually is located in /usr/local/bin and then make sure your /usr/ccs/bin directory is also included it will avoid the lex error. good luck

OK, I have added everything in my $PATH and I still get the errors. I can do a whence CC it returns /usr/local/bin/gcc, I get the same when I run a which. I have tried CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc;export CC and still get the same errors. I am stuck and very frustrated. My next step is to reinstall the OS which I really do not want to do. Anyone, please help.....
