Hello--

I'm trying to configure FreeTDS on a Mac running OS 10.5.7, but the configure process hangs up with the message "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables".

I'm new to GNU, so I have no idea how to troubleshoot any gcc issues. Below is a segment from the config.log file, which I abridged down to what appears to my untrained eye to be the point where things start to go wrong. My guess is that it has something to do with the "gcc -V </ dev/null >&5" line, which gets the response "argument to '-V' is missing". But I don't really know what that means, or how to fix it.

Advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
