[SuSE Linux] Unable to compile
Hi SUSE Users Please forgive me if this is a FAQ. I am newish to Linux and SUSE. Eveything has gone amazingly well with the installation etc so far. Now I am trying to compile one of the KDE apps and when running ./configure I get: configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables. Can somebody please tell me what I need to do to overcome this? Thanks in anticipation.

Sounds like you are missing the linker, which is called "as" or bin86, and is in the binutils package. It is the linux assembler. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
