RT configure command failed with the following error on my new ubuntu
install. I will appreciate if anyone can advise a way to proceed further?
What is the fix for this error?

I imagine the quickest way to proceed will be to first run
apt-get install gcc
as root.
However I am a bit confused as to why gcc is being required, as I
don’t believe any native code is being compiled. Does autotools just
assume that it will be needed at some point or is it left over from
long ago when there were SUID wrappers?
Cheers,
Dominic.

Thank you so much. apt-get install gcc helped.On Tue, Nov 6, 2012 at 10:56 AM, Dominic Hargreaves < dominic.hargreaves@it.ox.ac.uk> wrote:

Perhaps, but it’s effectively required for when you come to the ‘make fixdeps’ stage, since you will almost certainly need a functional C compiler to build a lot of the perl modules that RT needs. So even though none of RT itself is in C, some of the things the installation process does need a C compiler.

configure started needing gcc because of the tests for ‘do you have
this library installed’ - I believe it was graphviz. It came in
around 3.8.0.
It’s also helpful to catch this before you start trying to compile
CPAN modules.

It might make more sense to install “build-essential” which will include
more than just gccŠ
