Hi Mauro,

I have exactly the same problem when trying to install Nessus 2.0 after having installed GNU C 3.2.

The detail of the error can be found in the file "config.log" (see below):
"configure:1659: checking for executable suffix
configure:1669: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c 1>&5
ld: I/O error, file "/opt/langtools/lib/pa20_64/end.o": No such file or directory
Fatal error.
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status"

So, I believe there is a variable problem because the path "/opt/.." is not good. GNU C is installed in "/usr/local/pa20_64/". However, I can't find where something is missing.

Did you managed to fix your problem? I would be glad if you can share this with me.

Best Regards,
Nicolas

According to the GCC specs file, that file (/opt/langtools/.../end.o) is included whenever you specify the -g option. I'm not sure why this is, or where to get that file, but that is the condition. Removing the -g will remove that dependency and the error, and remove debugging symbols from the binary. You could also remove that entry from the specs file. I'd prefer to find out where that file really lives and modify the specs file to tell it that.
