Installing/Compiling Eggdrop

I am using mandrake linux 8.2. I am trying to compile the source for eggdrop and i get it unpacked and i type ./configure in the dir that the source was extracted to but i get the error...
<---------start error--------->
This is Eggdrop's GNU configure script.
It's going to run a bunch of strange tests to hopefully
make your compile work without much twiddling.

checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
<-----------end error------------>
how can i fix gcc so that i can create executables?
Thanks

found out what i needed to do i didn't have one of the gcc packages installed. here is what i did for anyone who has teh same problem...
Check it these packages are installed:

gcc
gcc-cpp
gcc-c++

with command:
rpm -q gcc
rpm -q gcc-cpp
rpm -q gcc-c++

I was missing gcc-cpp so i jsut went mandrake website and dled the packeage and installed. then eggdrop was able to compile
