I downloaded both the 2.1 and the 2.0 daily snapshots. When I try to compile either one I get an error :

I think the error is the linker complaining about "cannot find -lc", but I can't find out what is actually wrong. Any pointers ?


It can't find libc. Since nearly every linux distro has libc, this probably
means some symlink isn't set. (from libc-x.y.z.a.b.so to libc.so or so in
/usr/lib or /lib or both)

Some distributions only install the symlink when the corresponding -devel
package is installed, but that package can be huge, so setting the symlink
manually might help
This worked but after making links for libm and libdl and installing gcc + gcc-devel I get the following error :
