[Sheflug] KDeveloper configure problem

[Ian Porter <ian.porter3 [at] xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

I have just started to get this error when I am starting a new project thought 
the Kdevelop project menu item and also when I ./configure on older projects, 
but I have not altered anything ( but I did for some reason get a bad 
shutdown message when I had not shutdown incorrectly a couple of days ago but 
have done some programming after that thus I do not think this is the 
problem).  This is the error from kdevelop
"
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot 
create executables.
"
Below is full list of the output from the top part of the message screen for 
building the project.

I am using Mandrake 9.1 and Kdevelop 2.1.5

Thanks for any advice
Ian
