I was trying to install rvm ( \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby --autolibs=enable --auto-dotfiles). It worked fine until ZI got a configure error:
Error running './configure --prefix=/home/nishant/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247 --disable-install-doc --enable-shared',
please read /home/nishant/.rvm/log/1379591052_ruby-2.0.0-p247/configure.log
There has been an error while running configure. Halting the installation.
Following are the contents of the mentioned log file:

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
I then tried a "hello world" C program and got the following error on compilation:
nishant@nishant-Inspiron-1545:~$ gcc -g -o hello hello.c
/usr/local/bin/ld: this linker was not configured to use sysroots
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I'm not sure why this error is thrown. I couldn't find a satisfactory answer to this on the forum. Could someone please help. Thanks
