./configure
i am getting this error:

anyone?

adyblain,

Please, post the result of:

gcc -v

And check 'config.log' for more details.

I would guess you Developer Tools are not properly installed, I would reinstall them.

gcc -v

command not found

sorry about the dual-post

adyblain,

Post the result of:

sw_vers

which gcc

and

ls -l /usr/bin/gcc

an ADC account, you might be able to fix it by downloading the August GCC update, however since gcc seems to be missing (or not in your path) then you should just reinstall the dev tools. Who knows what else isn't there.

get the december devtools if you aren't using those

weird

yeah, i had to d/l the dev tools from ADC because the one I had were from Mac OS X 10.0. And now it configured and maked just fine.

i am using ftp-config and that seems to work fine, too. but now i have two new questions, 1 related and 1 totally different:

how do i get Pure-FTPd to start automatically? i noticed a thread on how to get Pro FTPd to work with Apple system preferences. is this possible with Pure?

and secondly, i made a user with system prefs so that i could log on anonymously. that worked ok. then i made a user with ftp config and that was cool because it was a 'other' user and didn't show up under /Volume/Users. however, my question is: is there a way i can make either/both of these users "invisible" so that they don't show up on the login screen?

thx

I suspected the "cannot create executables" message was associated with using the 10.0.x Development Tools.

Some info about Pure-FTPd at the following posts:

Give them UIDs below 500 and they won't show up in the login screen. Be sure to not use a UID commonly reserved for a system user. I think any UIDs in the 450-499 range will do.
