Folks, I'm a real newbie with Linux, and I've just been assigned to work on a set of Opterons for a Beowulf cluster. I've used gcc on the solaris boxes (and Xserves for that mattera) without a problem, but I'm stuck on the linux machines. What am I doing wrong? This occurs on any opteron, and the login baobab (out Beowulf cluster name) node: ipm add gcc Error: already subscribed to package gcc. baobab$ ipm r gcc baobab$ ipm add gcc baobab$ ./configure checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Beginning configuration for readline-5.0 for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. baobab$ ssh op74 Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '192.168.32.144' to the list of known hosts. pmitchel@op74's password: baobab$ cd admin/myrinet/mpichgm-1.2.6..14b /afs/isis.unc.edu/home/p/m/pmitchel/admin/myrinet/mpichgm-1.2.6..14b baobab$ ./configure Configuring MPICH Version 1.2.6 (release) of : 2004/08/04 11:10:38 checking whether filesystem respects case in file names... yes checking for current directory name... /afs/isis.unc.edu/home/p/m/pmitchel/admin/myrinet/mpichgm-1.2.6..14b checking for architecture...
