Question

Hi I want to install berkeley db in my MAC. My Xcode version is 4.5.2. I downloaded db-5.3.21(Berkeley) from oracle site.I installed command line tool for xcode. I installed berkeley db in my MAC for iPhoneSimulator. Where as for iPhone device I am unable to install.

When I am installing berkeley db for IOS device it is showing following error.

checking for arm-apple-darwin11.4.2-sh... no checking for sh... /bin/sh checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking for arm-apple-darwin11.4.2-cc... /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/gcc checking whether the C compiler works... no configure: error: in /Users/celstra/rajaramesh/db-5.3.21/build_unix': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See config.log' for more details

............................... The error is telling that C compiler cannot create executables... But for iPhonesimulator it is not showing the error...

Any advice would be appreciated.
