Re: C compiler cannot create executables

[Lee Duke]

   Keith,
   Okay, let's say that's the solution. Unfortunately, lines 2064-2065 in my
   configure file are:

     2064: ac_link_default=`echo "$ac_link" | sed 's/ -o *conftest[^ ]*//'`
     2065: if { (eval echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \"$ac_link_default\"") >&5

   I'm willing to modify 2065 by changing 2064, but I don't know where in line
   2064 the spurious
   ":/usr/lib"  comes  from (nor why it appears, although that is another
   question).

Hmm.  What is `:/usr/lib', and how has it gotten in there?  All I see
for this test, with autoconf-2.59 is:

  configure:1599: checking for C compiler default output file name
  configure:1602: gcc    conftest.c  >&5
  configure:1605: $? = 0

which clearly passes;  it's that spurious `:/usr/lib' that's making
it fail for you.

Keith.
