Compiling Subversion

Hello,

            The OS is "Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server".

            I have download subversion-1.8.13 tar.gz package. After that, using the "alien" CLI, I converted the tar package to .deb package. I placed this .deb package under /var/cache/apt/archives and using dpkg -i <.deb package name> the package got installed under /subversion-1.8.13 directory. But the exes (svn, svnadmin) were not present.

            I have gcc-4.9 compiler on this machine. BTW, I copied gcc-4.9 as "gcc".

            I am trying to build the sources. When I execute ./configure from the subversion directory, it is giving me the following error:

root_at_INBLRKUN1001:/subversion-1.8.13# ./configure

configure: Configuring Subversion 1.8.13

configure: creating config.nice

checking for gcc... gcc

checking whether the C compiler works... no

configure: error: in `/subversion-1.8.13':

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

See `config.log' for more details

root_at_INBLRKUN1001:/subversion-1.8.13#<mailto:root_at_INBLRKUN1001:/subversion-1.8.13#>

            So, how do I build subversion and get all the executables?

            NOTE : In our company, there is a policy that internet access will not be given to machines having Ubuntu OS. So, I cannot use "apt-get install <Package name>" .

            Please let me know how to proceed.

Thanks and Regards,
Ramesh Chandra
