Building 22.1

[Dave Pawson]

I've just moved from Fedora to Ubuntu 7.04(feisty fawn).
By default they have emacs 21 installed so I'm trying to build
22.1 from source.

./configure shows
root@marge:/temp/emacs-22.1# ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

gcc shows
gcc version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)

the log shows

configure:3670: result:
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h.  */
| #define PACKAGE_NAME ""
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME ""
| #define PACKAGE_VERSION ""
| #define PACKAGE_STRING ""
| #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ""
| #define MAIL_USE_POP 1
| /* end confdefs.h.  */
|
| int
| main ()
| {
|
|   ;
|   return 0;
| }
configure:3677: error: C compiler cannot create executables


Any suggestions for a way forward please?

regards
