I have as installed and gcc, and I still get this error:

error: C compiler cannot create executables.

Using Kubuntu linux

log file is:

sysconfdir='${prefix}/etc'
target_alias=''
w32_path=''

## ----------- ##
## confdefs.h. ##

#define PACKAGE "xine-lib"
#define VERSION "1.1.8"

configure: exit 77
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling gcc and I get this error for
everything I try to install from source. I have set the CC to gcc and
I don't know what else to look for.

I apologize, I didn't mean to post this in mandrake, but if anyone can
help I'd appreciate it.

gcc is a front end which calls a backend such as cpp or c++.

In Mandriva (formerly Mandrake), the following backend packages are available...
gcc-c++
gcc-cpp
gcc-gfortran
gcc-gnat
gcc-java
gcc-objc
gcc-objc++

I don't know which package manager Kubuntu uses, but check it for
any packages similar to the above.

I have had this error as well. I was advised to use the following command
(for Wine) "sudo apt-get build-dep wine wine-dev".

The build-dep should take care of the OP's problem. I am not sure whether
it is a standalone, or needs a package name to follow; I suspect the
former. Try "sudo apt-get build-dep" first, or look for it under kynaptic.

HTH,

Doug.
