Unable to compile anything

[tiennou]

I'm trying to install ffmpeg on a friends' computer, and I'm getting the dreaded C compiler cannot create executables error while building yasm. No brew doctoroutput, it's a clean brew install (I did a sudo rm -R /usr/local before trying again).

Can you post your brew --config, please?

Does cc work if you create a simple C program and compile it manually?

[adamv]

brew doctor and brew list --unbrewed would help too.

Still fails after brew update. Sorry for the lag, my friend isn't always near me.

$ brew doctor
Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause brews that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:

[adamv]

Does anything compile at all? With Homebrew, or Xcode, or just running the compiler over a C file on the command line?

Closing this since there isn't enough access to the computer to diagnose this in a timely fashion.
