error "C compiler cannot create executables"

[gevy]

I start to use Linux.
To see USA patent images (format TIFF) from https://www.uspto.gov
I try to install plug-in called "Plugger" from https://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html.
I read in Readme file:
To compile plugger, run:
./configure
make
But after ./configure I have error "C compiler cannot create executables".

What must I do?

You should install a C compiler -- gcc in linux.

Which Linux distribution you are using?
If you are trying to compile c program you need to have gcc compiler installed. for c++ program you will need g++ also along with gcc

To check use commands "which gcc" and "which g++" if the command output is "command not found" install the packages.
