Also try adding /usr/ccs/bin to the END of your PATH

Re: C Compiler cannot create executables
Set the env. variable
CC=gcc;export CC
before you run configure. Also run make distclean to cleanup the config.cache
from the last ./configure you ran.

Rebecca, try looking at your config.log to see what error is created when configure attempted to test gcc. I have run into a situation with an incomplete Solaris 8 installation in which certain object files (used by both Sun's C compiler and gcc) where not installed. Consequently, compilation fails. These referenced object files reside in /usr/lib and /usr/ccs/lib with names values-Xa.o, values-Xc.o, values-Xs.o, values-Xt.o and values-xpg4.o.
RE: C Compiler cannot create executables
I was also getting some advice from Jon LaBadie about which gcc pkg I used. I downloaded from sunfreeware, as I have done in the past but it wasn't working. I used the version from the companion cd, and on pkgadd, it listed 3 different dependencies I was missing, the gnu common pkg, a header pkg and an archived lib pkg. I installed all of those and voila! I can now ./config amanda... Thanks to all for your suggestions. I tried everything anyone threw my way. > Just to add a little to Joshua's and Scott Sanders' recommendations, > which are excellent. > > Rebecca, try looking at your config.log to see what error is created > when configure attempted to test gcc.
