I have a old HP laptop that I recently installed Manjaro 22. I was able to setup everything okay, except for build GnuCOBOL. When I run configure, I get an error stating cannot create executable.
Any thoughts as to why I am getting this error.

I guess you'd start with pacman -Su base-devel gmp db json-c libxml2 (if base-devel is not available then use gcc make instead) then do the common configure + make.
If this doesn't work then config.log should have some useful hints, if not then post it.
Please drop a note in any case :-)

Simon thank you. base level was already installed. I did install json-c & gmp. I then tried to configure and make GnuCOBOL. This time it worked just fine.
The interesting thing was I had installed GMP-6.2.1 earlier. anyway I have a working environment now. Thanks Again.

It seem to me when you run ./configure you get alot of messages... was there a log?
Mickey, yes there is a config.log. I will post it later today. Currently working day job.
