Gcc will not create executable

Gcc will not create executable

[Ernst Bekker]

I am attempting to install Postgresql-7.1.3 with gcc-2.95.3-5, 
When I run ./configure, it dies just after the following output:
________________________________________________________________
$ sh configure --with-java
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i686-pc-cygwin
checking which template to use... win
checking whether to build with locale support... no

configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot

________________________________________________________________

Please tell me what I should change. 
I even tried to change binutils form binutils-20010914-2 to
binutils-20011002-1.tar.bz2 
Amongst other crazy ideas I could come up with.

Thanks in advance

Did you forget to install cygipc?

BTW, why don't you just use the pre-built PostgreSQL 7.1.3 that is part
of the Cygwin distribution?  I has been configured as follows:

    configure --enable-multibyte --with-python --with-java --with-CXX --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --docdir=/usr/doc/postgresql-$version

So it seems like it will meet your needs.

Please read the README:

    /usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.1.3.README
