[admiral thrawn]

I was tring to compile the lastest ver of samba. ( Cause  samba.deb is compiled with the win98 flag OFF !!!!!!! ( even the unstable package ) , Try using an win98 machine to access the share, and next week you will get a responce.... [ Note to maintainer ] )   # ./configure checking for gcc... gcc checking wather the C compiler (gcc -O ) works ...... no Configure: error: installatiion or configuration problemL C compiler cannot create executables.    This is on a new install. debian. potato. My first debian system. same install options. works fine.   tried apt-get install gcc apt-get install cpp apt-get install make apt-get install autoconf apt-get install libc6   no go......   I can't compare the to systems cause I tried to upgrade the first system. and screwwed it up... hehehehe Actually Xfree 4.0, xserver-common 4.0 screwed it up. resolviong thoses issues with the maintainer.... By the by I think I'll right antoher post about that prob.......   Thanks for any input....
