🚀 go-pugleaf

I am relativly new to linux and recently installed KDE beta 2
I was having some problems with running a couple of programs and after
fixing them I get this output from the ./configure script :

[cbordeleau@localhost kppp-0.5.9]$ ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i486-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i486-pc-linux-gnu
checking build system type... i486-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for working aclocal... found
checking for working autoconf... found

checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O2 -Wall -s) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
cannot create executables.

I was able to use this earlier but I have no idea what I changed
Any ideas I did not change anything about gcc and have checked the
package with glint
I am running RedHat 5.0 and use gcc/g++ 2.72.3-8

Any help would be appreciated as I am now unable to build things
