Hi, I just downloaded Cppunit 1.12 and when trying to execute the configure script got this error:
$ ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

Any idea of what is the problem? Thanks.
Ok, I tried the same with gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21) in another machine and got a similar problem, but worked fine after apt-geting libc6-dev. Now I don't know if the problem has to do with the compiler version or with the hardware. The problematic machine is an iMac (Late 2006) with Ubuntu 7.10 and libc6-dev installed.
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-amd64
