[MgC]

hello,

i am trying to
Code:
emerge gnome xscreensaver

but it don t work :
Error : net-misc/howl-0.9.8 failed
function econf, line 485, exitcode 0
econf failed

(it also says : checking for c compiler default output ... configure: error C Compiler caonnat create executables)

i have been reading post here for 2h, and tried to put net-misc/howl ~x86 into package.keywords"
but it still don t work


My USE flags are:
Code:
USE="-kde -qt gnome alsa gtk hal howl openssh cdr"

I also can t emerge ethtool : same error : fonction econf, line 485

My kernel is kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r3 compiled with genkernel.

can someone help me ?

function econf, line 485, exitcode 0
econf failed
checking for c compiler default output ... configure: error C Compiler caonnat create executables

Hi,

The usual cause for that kind of message is incorrect CFLAGS, check them or post them so we can check them for you.

Cheers,

I had recently the same problem with emerging php, exactly the same error about econf, line 485.
It did solve by itself after I reemerged some dependencies (if I remember correctly, reemerging cracklib helped in my case). You may check if some dependencies have updates available.

EDIT: Well, seems you got it to work already
