Keep getting error message when trying to ./configure /c source codes

[Darwin Wu]

Dear Wikipedia iPhone Designer,

I'm a big fan of Wikipedia.app created by you. Currently I'm trying to
generate my own wiki dump. When I run ./configure in the /c directory,
however, I keep getting error messages like this:
=======
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
=======
The config.log is like this:Configured with: ../src/configure -v --

===========
Would you tell me how to avoid this error? Or whether I can simply
ignore these errors and do the rest steps to generate a Wikipedia dump?

Looks like you don't have libc-dev. Install it with apt-get.
