I use SuSE 9.1 kernel 2.6.4-52-default with gcc-3.3.3 (the one that came with SuSE.) I'm pretty sure that it is the compiler because i did

'export CC=~/bin/gcc' which was an empty text file, and got the same output except the line:

checking for gcc... gcc

was replaced with:

checking for gcc... /home/steven/bin/cc

and i got the same

checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details.

stuff. what is wrong?

export CC=~/bin/gcc Do NOT do this. You are pointing to gcc in your HOME directory (eg /home/steven/bin).

Here is a test you should run: 1. Build a simple hello world: #include int main() { printf("Hello, world!\n"); return 0; } 2. compile that program: gcc hello.c -o hello

3. run the program: ./hello

This will test that the C compiler works, and that your include files are installed.

That worked, but doing './configure' still gives me the crud, and 'sh ./configure' still gives me trouble.
