I recently upgraded to the Gutsy beta, and this may just be a side effect of it being beta, but thought I'd raise it here in case I am doing something obviously wrong. I'm not familiar with how the configure script works and looking at the config.log didn't help me. Just to note, I was successfully compiling on ubuntu amd64 before I upgraded to the gutsy beta. I have raised a bug with ubuntu as well, you can see the full config.log and steps I took there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/152683 If anyone knows what might be causing it (might be a missing library for all I know), please let me know. Happy to provide any further information. regards, Patrick Leamon Sick of deleting your inbox? Yahoo!7 Mail has free unlimited storage. http://au.docs.yahoo.com/mail/unlimitedstorage.html

But all threads seen on web show the contrary. So as many suggest, check if you have installed "build-essential" package first then retry. (as wine already exists as a package, a 'apt-get buid-dep wine' could help). If you need more info, search for "gcc bug compiler cannot create executables" will give you lot's of error reports and solutions. Regards.
Looks like I was just missing a package - adding gcc-multilib fixed the problem. This seems to be a new package in Ubuntu gutsy. cheers, pat. Sick of deleting your inbox? Yahoo!7 Mail has free unlimited storage. http://au.docs.yahoo.com/mail/unlimitedstorage.html
