I'm trying to compile gnucash on a Potato system and I get this error: debian-mobile:/usr/local/gnucash-1.4.8# ./configure --host=i386-linux loading cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for working aclocal... found checking for working autoconf... found checking for working automake... found checking for working autoheader... found checking for working makeinfo... missing checking host system type... i386-pc-linux-gnu checking build system type... i386-pc-linux-gnu checking for ranlib... ranlib checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
This may be a dumb question but is it required to have the kernel source and headers to compile programs on a system? Jesse
