What does this mean?

[sdunn]

configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
I got this error after doing a ./configure for a program. What am I missing that is causing this error.

well if you are not root, could be that "someone" has restriced access to the compiler.

other than that I can offer no help.
