[hobbit] Hobbit and bb-central

[Michael A. Price]

Henrik,

Thanx so much for getting back to me so quickly. The problem is that I 
am running a very, very secure version of Linux called Secure Platform 
from Checkpoint.
They made their own gcc libraries and compiler and Make is not 
installed. So I downloaded "Make" and tried compiling it and when i try 
and run ./configure it breaks because the C-compiler is not allowed to 
create executables. I cant upgrade the libraries because it will break 
the software.

Here is the output:
--------------------------------------------------------
[Expert at hobfw]# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
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.

Is there anyway to manually install the hobbit-client ??? or any other 
cool ideas you have ???


thanx, michael
