Re: C compiler cannot create executables

   Ralf,
   Thank you very much. The "unset LIBS" seems to have fixed the problem.

Hmm.  What is `:/usr/lib', and how has it gotten in there?  All I see
for this test, with autoconf-2.59 is:

  configure:1599: checking for C compiler default output file name
  configure:1602: gcc    conftest.c  >&5
  configure:1605: $? = 0

which clearly passes;  it's that spurious `:/usr/lib' that's making
it fail for you.
    

Indeed.  I bet an
  unset LIBS

before invoking configure will be an appropriate "fix".  If that's not
the case, it'd be helpful to see the output of
  sh -x ./configure

to find out what sets $LIBS.

Cheers,
Ralf
