Why -> configu error: C compiler cannot create executables

when I run ./configure to compile any source packages in kubuntu 7.10(amd64)
compiling will abort with the message "configure: error: C compiler cannot
create executables". why?

The typical answer is that you don't actually have a C compiler installed.

What happens if you try to run

$ gcc

?

Probably because you haven't installed the "build-essential" package
