autoconf problem

[Clendon Gibson-2]

Hi folks,

I am trying to install the dxr3 driver on a home computer with a Hollywood RealMagic card. The machine is a 800 MHZ Celeron with Debian Etch on it. I have the 2.6.18-6 kernel.

I attempted to install the development tools to compile the module but I suspect I am missing something. When I do "./configure" in the top level is complains with the following messages.

checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

I think this is the relevant portion, but the whole thing is attached.

checking for gcc... gccconfigure:2130: gcc -V >&5
gcc: '-V' option must have argument
configure:2133: $? = 1
configure:2156: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:2183: gcc    conftest.c  >&5
/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I figure that I am missing some portion of the development system, but it is not obvious to me which. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

P.S. I apologize if this is the typical noob question that gets asked 20 times a day. I really did look at the website FAQ and the e-mail archives for this one and did not see it.

That part seems to be okay (that is, it's a non-fatal failure). The real
problem is this:
/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Seems you're missing the libc6-dev package, which contains the crt1.o file.
There are couple of other -dev packages you'll also need. Install the
libgtk2.0-dev and it ought to pull in libc6-dev as well as some others
required.

In case you didn't realise, the dxr3 drivers do have precompiled packages in
the contrib section ("em8300", et al.), though in Etch they're version
0.16.0, so perhaps a little dated.

Good luck!

Peace,
Brendon

This was spot on and I was able to do the make and make install without problem.
