gcc woes
About two months ago gcc suddenly died on my server's redhat install (binaryoverlord.com).
I have no idea why this has happened, I have never had gcc die on any computer I have owned in the past. I checked to see if gcc was; pointed to a symlink that I might have deleted by mistake - negatory, set to the wrong permissions, or was victum of a config file gone bad. None of the aforementioned scenarios seem to be the case in regards to my problem. I should also note that I am using a FreeVSD install of Redhat, therefore if you are not familar I only have limited root access under an "admin" account. Basically I get my own "/" tree on a little jail in the server, and a limited chroot account called admin. This being I often have limited access to fix problems like this, informing you so you know this in advance. Finally, here is the output of a config script I tried to run recently:
admin@binaryoverlord:~/fle/sys/inetutils-1.4.0>
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... conftest.c
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
