Could use help from Linux programmers, it used gcc, so I can not understand this error message: Compiler can't create executables

Compiler can't create executables
I could not install a Linux program using the package manager.
(Puppy Slacko 5.6.0)

So it was suggested that I compile the source.

It used gcc, so I can not understand this error message.

"Compiler can't create executables"

# ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

I am still using fasm and have been looking for some GUI code.

Thanks scholars, gentlemen, and go-getters. Smile
