Description shanthi_thana 2002-01-25 00:14:19 MST

When I execute ./configure on AIX 4.3.3, the error message below is shown :-

checking for cc... cc
checking for C compiler default output... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled
 programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.

That's very strange.  The compiler is able to create executables but when the resulting
executable is run the dynamic loader is unable to find libc.  Try running configure like this:

env LDFLAGS=-blibpath:/usr/lib:/lib ./configure

FYI:  I just successfully configured sudo using the vacpp V5 compiler and AIX
4.3,  Release sudo-1.6.5p2.

Ok, sounds like it is a gcc misconfiguration then.
