[SOLVED] configure:3355: error: C compiler cannot create executables

[pempro]

Hello
Well, when i am trying to install playonlinux, it request to me icoutils, but when i am trying for install using "make" i get this error

[root@lxxx icoutils-0.29.1]# make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

so i read in file "install" another way, but i get this:

[root@xxxx icoutils-0.29.1]# ./configure CC=c99 CFLAGS=-g LIBS=-lposix

Works here - I imagine you don't have the development tools installed.

sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
