I'm facing a problem during compilation of subversion
I use :

$ ./configure

i get the following:

configure: Configuring Subversion 1.2.3
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
configure: creating config.nice
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.

What does "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" mean ?

Thanks,


do as it says

there is a file called config.log with the details of the configure process, near the end of it you will find the reason why the compiler failed.

cheers,
Alaa

Install the glibc development

Install the glibc development headers

What's your distro ?

Debian: apt-get install libc6-dev

Mandrake: urpmi glibc-devel

Are you sure that your distro doesn't have a subversion package ?
