[odb-users] C compiler cannot create executables

[Hess, Michael M]

Greetings! I'm currently evaluating ODB and its use on one of our projects; and I am configuring the ODB Common Library, via ./configure command. But I am running into the following error:

mmhess at coi2:~/downloads/odb/libodb-2.3.0$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking how to create a ustar tar archive... gnutar
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/mmhess/downloads/odb/libodb-2.3.0':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

As can be seen in the attached config.log file, configure attempts to compile conftest.c, but fails. What might be the cause?

The environment we use for our ODB evaluation is: Ubuntu-release 12.04; ODB release 2.3.0.

Thanks in advance for any shared information.
