bug?

Hey, I am having trouble getting pidgin to install on my computer. I am
running Ubuntu (Linux) and I am not sure if it is a bug, or operator error-
I am still learning unix so it's probably the later, but any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Tim

Here is the error message I get after typing ./configure-

checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

config.log says.....

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by pidgin configure 2.1.1, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure
