I am trying to run the ./configure command for the cmph_2.0 library I downloaded. The gcc and g++ versions are 9.3.0 and I am using Ubuntu 16.04. However, I am getting the below error:

   This file contains any messages produced by compilers while

running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.



It was created by configure, which was

generated by GNU Autoconf 2.68.  Invocation command line was



  



    $ ./configure --prefix=/~/userB/cmph-2.0

The issue is likely not really that the C compiler cannot create executables, it's that it cannot create executables with the parameters given.

In particular,

configure:3241: gcc /include  /lib conftest.c  >&5

shows that the configure script is executing the command gcc /include /lib conftest.c which makes no sense: gcc treats non-option arguments as source code files. It possibly should have been gcc -I/include -L/lib conftest.c which makes a little more sense, except that /include and /lib are likely already in the compiler's built-in search paths for include files and libraries respectively (you can confirm that with gcc --print-search-dirs).

The arguments get into the configure script as a result of expansion of the autoconf macro ac_link

ac_link='$CXX -o conftest$ac_exeext $CXXFLAGS $CPPFLAGS $LDFLAGS conftest.$ac_ext $LIBS >&5'

where the variables CXX, CXXFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LIBS will get initialized from environment variables of the same names if they exist. So

if you are trying to pass values of these variables to the script, then you are doing it wrong and must correct it (for example, adding -I in front of /include in the value of CFLAGS)

if you are not trying to pass values of the variables, then clean them out of your environment altogether, either by unsetting them or unexporting them. In the bash shell, you can do the latter using export -n ex. export -n CFLAGS LDFLAGS before running the ./configure script.
