Hello Rhys, > I am trying to do a rpmbuild -ba on an openssh spec file to create some > rpms on a redhat 5.1 box running 2.0.38 (spec file from > openssh-3.7.1p2-1.src.rpm ) Could you explain to me why you are using a RHL 5.1 system? Any reason not to upgrade to RHL 9 or better Fedora Core 1? Using such an old system makes it quite likely that your system has all kinds of vulnerabilities that have been addressed in later releases. > checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler > cannot create executables It is quite likely that you need a more recent compiler than the one that comes with RHL 5.1. At best you need to set some configure flag to handle the build on such an old system. I don't know what your level of experience with Linux is, but if it's not too big you'ld better not attempt to keep such an old system alive. > I have - > gcc version? > I have checked the config.log file and it's not very informative. Of course you have read all the readmes, faqs, checked http://www.openssh.com, relevant mailing list archives and googled to find an answer for your somewhat exotic setup...
