Ubuntu

Compilation error (gutenprint-5.1.3)

Asked by ErinMae-77

I have an Epson Stylus CX4800 printer/scanner...but it is not one of the supported printers listed...I have the gutenprint-5.1.3 driver, which has worked in the past, but it will not install/configure. Whe i try, i get the follwing:

erin@erin-laptop:~/gutenprint-5.1.3$ sudo ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking how to create a ustar tar archive... gnutar
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
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.

But the config.log means squat to me! It is posted below, if anyine can help, i would greatly appreciate it. This is the first distro of linux that is pretty much full compatible with mt Toshiba Satellite P100-JR1 laptop!! And I am sooo excited!!

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by gutenprint configure 5.1.3, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.60. Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure

This question ended up in the launchpad-answers project and not the Ubuntu project which I think is correct.

I think I've seen this issue before though, so I may be able to help. Your gcc/tools chain is either missing, broken, or (upsettingly) incompatible with the lastest sourcepackage. You can try this for a quick and hopefully final fix:
$ sudo apt-get remove build-essential
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
That will fix and/or install the tool chain.

thanx, but this is what i got when i did those commands:

erin@erin-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get remove build-essential
[sudo] password for erin:

Package build-essential is not installed, so not removed

Its build-essentials (note tha dash in between).

BTW, to explain the error. In config.log you find this:

/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory

The linker is complaining because it is missing a (core) object file. Indeed, crt1.o is part of the libc6-dev package.
You can install it self-standing, but installing build-essential (which is just a meta-package) will also install it, amongst what are considered tha essential components to be able to build debian packages:

dpkg-dev Package building tools for Debian
g++ The GNU C++ compiler
gcc The GNU C compiler
libc6-dev GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Header Files
make The GNU version of the "make" utility

Restart and retry. Don't forget that Gutsy Tribe 2 is still a long way to be a stable release and is NOT to be used unless for debugging.
