[unnati]

Hi

i am trying to install a program all i get is just errors
./configure gives the following

./configure
configuring ImageMagick 6.4.4
checking build system type... armv6l-unknown-linux-gnueabi checking host system type... armv6l-unknown-linux-gnueabi checking target system type... armv6l-unknown-linux-gnueabi checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a BSD-compatible install... config/install-sh -c checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... config/install-sh -c -d checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... no checking for nawk... no checking for awk... awk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: in `/home/user/MyDocs/ImageMagick-6.4.4':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details.


apt-get install libc-dev gives the following

apt-get install libc-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting libc6-dev instead of libc-dev Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.5.0-1osso7) but 2.5.0-1osso9 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

and finally apt-get install libc6

apt-get install libc6

libc6 is already the newest version.
