crt1.o problems (while ./configure)

[zazaz]

Hello,

I am quite a newbie in Linux. Two days ago I just installed Slackware 11. Before I had some practice with unix feeBSD.

So, a problem:

I am trying to install squid 2.6, but.... configuring is unsuccessful with:


><><><><><><><>

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
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.

><><><><><><><>

ok... config.log so config.log:
(only as I think the main lines)

><><><><><><><>

configure:2336: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:2339: gcc -g conftest.c >&5
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/3.4.6/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:2342: $? = 1

><><><><><><><>

can not open crt1.o? I tried to find it anywhere else in my disks.... no luck. I have no crt1.o at all.

as I understand it should be in /usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/3.4.6 (because crtbegin.o for example sits there)

so a question: could I simply place crt1.o to this location? If Yes: how to download it, or could I get it from Slackware installation CDs?

or

should I reinstall any library utilities (glibc binutils or any like that)? or maebye same gcc must be reinstalled?

and one more thing... how to reinstall? apt-get is not working in slackware? or simply i do not know how to use it?... If I would download tar or smth like that.... will it install without configuring? Or maebye is there a possibility to install missing utilities out of slackware CD? (but only to select packages which I need).

So, thanks for helping in advance

try linuxpackages.net for squid package.

apt-get is in debian.

swaret / slapt-get & slapt-gui (gui for slapt-get) / gslapt-get are package managers.

i think you're missing your binutils or glibc-solibs, just install the pkgs

squid is available as a package too, so no compiling

I found that I really did not selected to install these library files. Now everything is ok. Thanks anyway.
