Open Source One

Hi.

Because my knowledge is limited in using and operating different parts of GNU/Linux OS I need help with installing a software using the Terminal.

There are documentation available on the internet here is one, which I viewed recently:

http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/

Thanks to author it was very clear. Here is where I face the problem – In the second step when I enter the “./configure” command computer read some parts of the file but it can not ‘create executable’!

Here is the exact output from the Terminal:
———-
checking for gcc… gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name… configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log’ for more details.
———-

My intention is to install some software manually using the Terminal. I don’t have any problems with the actual software instillation process from the Ad/Remove… menu within the Ubuntu.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
