Problem with the ./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd

I have an Ubuntu 7.06 install on which I would like to use Nagios 3.0.2. I have been following the “Quick Install for Nagios Ubuntu” and have completed all that is on the list such as;

sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libgd2-xpm-dev

However when I run the ./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd it fails with the following;
root@pho02:/opt/tmp/downloads/nagios-3.0.2# ./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd
checking for a BSD-compatible install… /usr/bin/install -c
checking build system type… i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking host system type… i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking for gcc… gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name… configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log’ for more details.

Please find the config.log following;
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd

I checked through the paths and made sure that the APT packages where installed. I just cannot seem to work out what is preventing this script to execute correctly.

hi,
I think you did not follow the installation steps properly.
Check that once.
