That's the error from a configure script.

You might get useful output from gcc -v; try compiling a simple C
program, e.g. create a text file containing the following:

    #include <stdio.h>
    int main(void) { printf("Hello, World!\n"); return 0; }

and save it as hw.c. Then run:

    gcc -v hw.c

and you might get more useful error messages.

Likely reasons are that you are missing one or more of:

    * an assembler (usually called 'as')
    * a linker (usually called 'ld')
    * a C library (usually '/lib/libc.a' and/or '/lib/libc.so')
    * lead in/out objects (varies by OS; usually .o files in /lib)

all of which you'll likely find on your OS install media.
(Alternatively, you can get a binary install of GNU binutils for the
first two.)

Good luck,
Rup.

A bit vague...

GCC Error: C compiler cannot create executables.

[Danny Ybarra]

Whenever I try to compile anything on one of our 10 AIX 5.1 machines, I get 
C compiler cannot create executables.  I'm not sure if it has something to 
do with the path or not.  Can you please help?
