Attach the log and reopen then.

I can't find config.log. Slocate turns up nothing even after updating the database.

[Comment 3 Lee 2007-01-19 16:41:58 UTC]

I can't find config.log

[Comment 4 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-01-19 20:52:37 UTC]

And we can't guess.

[Comment 5 emerald 2007-01-21 22:11:11 UTC]

the problem is comfigure seems not to find the correct compiler
it checks for *-cc but with current gcc and gcc-config versions there's no *-cc installed, so configure should detect gcc

checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-cc... i686-pc-linux-gnu-cc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C
compiler cannot create executables

i found two possible solutions, whether to define the CC=gcc variable when emergeing sys-libs/db or i.e. in /usr/local/bin create a cc script that redirects the cc calls to gcc:

fry /usr/lib # cat /usr/local/bin/cc
#!/bin/bash
gcc "${@}"

[Comment 6 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-01-21 22:26:44 UTC]

You have a stale symlink to i686-pc-linux-gnu-cc in /usr/lib/distcc/bin which shouldn't exist; delete it.
