While running ./configure, I got an error as below - " compiler cannot create executables" before this error , it declares that OFFSET is 64. I also found on rsync.samba.org, which explains my problem. Note that on some systems you will have to force configure not to use gcc because gcc may not support some features (such as 64 bit file offsets) that your system may support. Set the environment variable CC to the name of your native compiler before running configure in this case. Now my question is how to set OFFSET --> 32 ? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
I have two machine on which I am getting this error. Both machine is Solaris
7 and rsync version I am trying is 2.4.6.
This is the error
"checking whether the C compiler
(gcc -O -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
create executables."
when I saw the config.log file. Both have almost same error.
Machine1/config.log==>
configure:698: checking for gcc
configure:811: checking whether the C compiler
(gcc -O -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 ) works

Thanks for any help here.

Sounds like your gcc is not installed properly. - Dave Dykstra On Mon, Oct 29, 2001 at 06:17:20PM -0500, SANJEEV wrote:> I have two machine on which I am getting this error.
