[mrtg] MRTG 2.8 Install and AIX 4.3

[lfiddler at us.ibm.com]

Hi All,

I'm attempting to install MRTG 2.8.4 on a UNIX box running AIX 4.3.  Upon
running the ./configure script I receive the following errors:

On the command line:
  ...
  checking for gcc...  gcc
  checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works...  no
  configure:  error:  installation or configuration problem:  C compiler cannot
create executables.

In the config.log file:

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

  configure:541: checking for gcc
  configure:654: checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works
  configure:670: gcc -o conftest    conftest.c  1>&5
  collect2: /usr/lib/libc.a: not an import library
  configure: failed program was:

  #line 665 "configure"
  #include "confdefs.h"

  main(){return(0);}


We have recently upgraded the OS from AIX 4.1 to AIX 4.3.  I believe this may
have caused the problems.  Just for kicks I went back and ran the ./configure
for MRTG2.7 and received the same errors.  Although I'm fairly useless when it
comes to C and C compilers running   gcc <input files>  from the command line
seems to work fine.  I'm running gcc 2.8.1.

It the OS level is the problem, would it be feasible to run the ./configure
script (along with the entire MRTG directory) on another system then re-tar the
directory with the make file etc. and put it back on the original system?

Any suggestions or work arounds would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, David
