[Xastir] Install Problem

[Glenn Starling]

I am using the Ubuntu Studio version of Ubuntu 10.4, which is their video
studio version.  I am following the How-To: Ubuntu 10.04 instructions.  I
opted for the UbuntuGIS version of the Everything is fine until I got to the
commandto ../configure.


  The results are as follows:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes

Configuring xastir 1.9.9

checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/glenn/src/xastir/build':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
glenn at video:~/src/xastir/build$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.


So, the gcc compiler is there but doesnt work?  I saw in the configure
script the note that it tested for broken compilers, but I couldn
quite figure out what test it was performing, or what dependency was
missing that would make it fail to work properly.  Very possibly, the
media studio edition of Ubuntu doesn´t have some of the libraries
installed that the desktop version has.  If that is so, which do I
add?

I realize this may be more of a compiler or Ubuntu problem than a
Xastir problem, but I´m confused!  Thanks for any help you can offer.
