[geeks] C compiler won't create executables ..WTF?

[Andrew Weiss]

and maybe that should be Redhat Linux... you hate Redhat Linux... I 
don't really like Linux compared to any other UNIX these days, but I'll 
be damned if Redhat isn't the 2nd worst... probably the worst, but I am 
biased against Slackware having started with it and then trying to 
upgrade libraries... :-) (from a 1.2.13 version; 3.0 I think)
