Response to: Addendum -- /usr/local/bin
Still not solved. I really hate knowing so little about this stuff that I can't even effectively troubleshoot simple stuff! Re the other message: which cc returns /usr/bin/cc I do have a bin directory. When I enter ls sbin (why sbin and not bin?) it says I don't have sbin. ls returns... bin include lib samba share ls sbin returns...No such file or directory. ll returns this... drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 194 Sep 26 2001 . drwxr-xr-x 10 root wheel 296 Sep 2 2001 .. drwxr-xr-x 30 root wheel 976 Jan 29 10:43 bin drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 264 Sep 26 2001 include drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 264 Sep 26 2001 lib drwxr-xr-x 9 root wheel 264 Apr 20 2001 samba drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 264 Apr 1 2001 share but ll bin returns this (truncated for length) total 972 drwxr-xr-x 30 root wheel 976 Jan 29 10:43 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 194 Sep 26 2001 .. lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 33 Jan 29 10:43 addtosmbpass -> /usr/local/samba/bin/addtosmbpass lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 38 Jan 29 10:43 convert_smbpasswd -> /usr/local/samba/bin/convert_s mbpasswd -rwxr-xr-x 1 rmartin staff 207208 Mar 9 2001 df -rwxr-xr-x 1 rmartin staff 174612 Mar 9 2001 dircolors -rwxr-xr-x 1 rmartin staff 204092 Mar 9 2001 du -rwxr-xr-x 1 rmartin staff 303720 Mar 9 2001 ls lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 36 Jan 29 10:43 make_printerdef -> /usr/local/samba/bin/make_printe rdef lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 37 Jan 29 10:43 make_smbcodepage -> /usr/local/samba/bin/make_smbco depage lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 36 Jan 29 10:43 make_unicodemap -> /usr/local/samba/bin/make_unicod emap lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 25 Jan 29 10:43 nmbd -> /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 30 Jan 29 10:43 nmblookup -> /usr/local/samba/bin/nmblookup -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1591 Sep 26 2001 pear -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 474 Sep 26 2001 php-config -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 593 Sep 26 2001 phpextdist Why such an apparently different list of files. Anyway, it appears that I have bin and it is a directory. As you can probably tell, I installed Samba at one point, if that makes a difference.

Actually , this addendum was not meant to address your compile issue, so if you have a /usr/local/bin directory, you're all set as far as that's concerned.

Have you tried re-installing the most recent Dev Tools?

All I've installed is the Dev Tools that came on the CD that came with my G4.

Addendum -- still no compile!

I am also still having problems.

(1) When I try ./configure from the streamripper directory I get: loading site script /usr/local/etc/config.site
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for gcc... /usr/bin/gcc --traditional-cpp
checking whether the C compiler (/usr/bin/gcc --traditional-cpp ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

(2) /usr/local/bin exists as a directory (with many entires) with is owned by root and group wheel.

(3) I have reinstalled developer tools from the CD ver 10.1 September 2001. My system version is 10.1.3

What do I try next?

What exactly does the error message mean?
