another stab at my compiler problem

[Tom Moreton]

I followed the list posted a couple back, and installed just about 
everything on it, but I am still getting an error with gcc not 
working:

checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler 
cannot create executables.


Does anyone know why this is??
