'Compiler cannot create executables'
Hi
I have a LFS system that started as 5.1 but has now grown with upgrades. I
have never had problems compiling with gcc and am now running 3.3.1. I am now
getting the following error message as part of 'configure' when trying to
compile software:
checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++
compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
this is an extract from the config.log file, any ideas what is wrong? I feel
I may have inadvertently deleted a file somewhere.

Re: Tex cannot find latex.fmt
Hello! Generally, it causes problems when a given package's make file assumes 'make install' will be run as root. And then there's XOrg, which I discovered a while ago assumes *everything* to compile it will be done as root... Hmmm. I haven't noticed this. I compile everything (up to and including 'make World') as an unprivileged user and only do the 'make install' and configuration stuff as root. XOrg is somewhat bitching around if 'make install' is not performed by root (SETUID bits and stuff like that). I managed to get it working using the package-user scheme, but I am afraid, I don't have to notes on how I did that anymore. Compiling works as any user. Is there anywhere I can download these files from, to drop in to the right places? I doubt it. These files are created by the TeX installation process as best as I recall. It looks as though Steffen is becoming involved in this thread, so you're in luck. If anyone can help you, it would be him. :-) You recall correctly (see the other mail). Thanks for the compliment Randy :-) I'll do my best. Cheers, Steffen -- If you want to stay dad you've got to polish your image.

No sound lessons
Hi, I wish to thank the Community on the List for all the help in sorting out sound problem on my laptop. Particularly, I thank Jeremy Byron for his painstaking involvement. The sound is now working and xmms gives good music - all that after some struggle though. It is just a thought for the Community and the Organisers of our BLFS Book: Why do novices like me have to rediscover the wheel? In the first place, why the linux gurus have to be so awkward as to 'mute all channels' by default? Rationally, it should be the other way. All channels must be opened by default. Is there a way to convey this to them, the gurus? Secondly, if that is not feasible, I suggest we include the following in the Book: 1. Kernel Configuration: (May be under the Sub-Section 'Sound' under ALSA at beginning of Part IX-Multimedia.) a) First ensure that 'pci-utils' are installed and to check the audio card with 'lspci' command. Select the correct driver in: Sound - ALSA - PCI devices. b)The pitfalls of selecting: Sound - ALSA - Sequencer dummy client. Ultimately, it turns up as the 'default' card in further configurations. This creates confusion for the novice. 2. A little more details in ALSA Chapter (than at present): may be under 'Alsa-utils' Section: a)After installation of ALSA (alsa-utils), check if 'alsa' is started on reboot or by '/etc/rc.d/init.d/alsa start' command. b) Check with 'aplay' and 'speaker-test' commands c) Check with 'alsamixer' command, the ncurses output - ckeck correct card and chip are displayed in top left corner; unmute channels by toggling with 'm' for sterio and '.' or ',' for single channels; save with 'alsactl store' command. c)Premissions on '/dev/dsp'(chmod 622) and '/dev/mixer' (chmod 644) for playing music as ordinary user. d) How to join 'audio' group so as to be able to play music as ordinary user. 3. Under the xmms section, a little more details should be given as to how to configure it with 'CTL+P': configuring Input and Output Plugins; ALSA and/or OSS output plugins etc. Only a few lines in these respective sections will make novices at ease plus this will reduce so much traffic on the List. The overall aim of all Linux Enthusiasts is to 'popularise linux'. That aim should be pursued relentlessly by making Linux more FRIENDLY for the NOVICE.

With all due respect, you are the only person I can remember who has posted on this list who had trouble getting the mixer to unmute the channels and in configuring XMMS. This is basic operational stuff.
