[Scim-user] Problem compiling scim-1.4.4 on Kubuntu Breezy

[anthony]

I'm having trouble getting scim-1.4.4 to compile. I'm running Kubuntu 
Breezy on an Asus A7V333 with an AMD XP1700+ and a gig of ram.
configure gives a compiler error, then stops.

   address@hidden:~/scim-1.4.4$ sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr
   checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
   checking whether build environment is sane... yes
   checking for gawk... gawk
   checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
   checking whether NLS is requested... yes
   checking for msgfmt... /usr/bin/msgfmt
   checking for gmsgfmt... /usr/bin/msgfmt
   checking for xgettext... /usr/bin/xgettext
   checking for msgmerge... /usr/bin/msgmerge
   checking for style of include used by make... GNU
   checking for gcc... gcc
   checking for C compiler default output file name... configure:
   error: C compiler cannot create executables
   See `config.log' for more details.

There is a discrepancy in confdefs.h:

    | #define SCIM_BINARY_VERSION "1.4.0"

It should be "1.4.4", shouldn't it?

Does anybody know where I should go from here? Wrong version of GCC?

Thanks,
Anthony
