hello,
this is probably not a GRASS problem but perhaps somebody encountered this
problem with GRASS already.
I tried to compile the GRASS 57 snapshot as well as the older 5.7.0 source,
but both processes were terminated with a gcc error. Previous attempts did
not result in such error prompts.
./configure --with-grass50=/home/misc/software/grass/grass53_exp_2004_08_07
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
create executables.
I upgraded some packages under debian and probably some dependencies caused
gcc to upgrade as well.
I checked gcc:

This is a dependency package providing the default GNU C compiler for
Debian GNU/Linux systems (version 2.95.4 for architecture i386).
Task: c-dev
any ideas what might be wrong. otherwise I send a mail onto the debian ML.

configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
create executables.
Look in config.log; there should be a group of lines like:
configure:721: checking for gcc
configure:825: checking whether the C compiler (gcc -g ) works
configure:841: gcc -o conftest -g conftest.c 1>&5
If there were any error messages, they will follow the above lines.

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

gcc or GRASS error? TIA Martin

gcc.
My guess is that it requires a newer version of ld.
