Dear All
  I removed GCC7.2.0 and installed GCC4.8.5 in order to compile GAMESS on the same 
computer, but got the following error when NWCHEM6.6 was compiled
...
     configure: C compiler
configure:
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/hp/computation/nwchem6.6/src/tools/build':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
GNUmakefile:561: recipe for target 'build/config.status' failed
make[1]: *** [build/config.status] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/hp/computation/nwchem6.6/src/tools'
GNUmakefile:103: recipe for target 'libraries' failed
make: *** [libraries] Error 1

     What is wrong with the C compiler?

    Very Best Regards!

Sincerely Yours
