When I try to compile R packages from Cran mirrors I get
the following:
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C
compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
Here are some config.log excerpts:
| Syntax error
configure:2315: gcc -E -traditional-cpp conftest.c
conftest.c:12: error: assert.h: No such file or directory
configure:2321: $? = 1

| #endif

configure:2497: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
Knowing less than nothing about programming I hope
some experts on the list can tell me what is happening
and how to correct it.
