Hello folks! During the course of trying to build an app from the tgz sources, I received an odd looking message that gcc could not create an executable. After a little research, I tried to compile the canonical "Hello, world" program with this: gcc -o hello hello.c and I got this: daniel@danny:~> gcc -o hello hello.c /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.1.2/../../../crt1.o: In function `_start': (.text+0xc): undefined reference to `__libc_csu_fini' /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.1.2/../../../crt1.o: In function `_start': (.text+0x11): undefined reference to `__libc_csu_init' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I've never seen anything like that before (since SuSE 6.1). Can anyone tell me what's going on here & how to fix it? Environment: openSUSE 10.2, kernel 2.6.18.8-0.3-default. I'm using gcc as provided. gcc -v gives: Using built-in specs.
