[Nix-dev] C compiler cannot create executables

[Eelco Visser]

Hi,

I'm not sure whether this is a Nix or a Stratego/XT problem:

When building the Stratego/XT tree from svn (and other packages
as well), I get:

checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I'm using gcc from nix install:

> which gcc
/home/visser/.nix-profile/bin/gcc

> gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.3

See `config.log' for more details.


Any ideas what might cause this?

It appears that everytime I attempt to do some work on Stratego
packages it takes longer to get a working setup.
