Thread: Installation Problem
Hi All, I'm trying ot install postgresql 8.0.4 on suse 9.0. I can run ./configure but when I try to run make, the program cannot find a usable c compiler. I tried ./configure CC=/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.3/cc1 but get the error: cannot run c compiled programs. I tried to downlaod and install GCC.3.3.4 but the error message says it needs a c compiler Any ideas on how I might proceed? thanks, Phil

I think you need to point "gcc" not "cc1". The latter (AFAIK) won't link things, it's just the compiler and so won't produce executables. Maybe: /configure CC=/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.3/gcc Incidently, on my Debian machine I have several compilers and they are referred to as: gcc-3.3 gcc-3.4 etc Maybe that would work for you?

You don't have all needed packages for build, configure does sometimes do a bad job reporting the real issues. Peter
