When I run sudo bash configure (./configure doesn't work), I get this:
checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in
/media/pitaj/Shared/Documents/makeMKV/makemkv-oss': configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use--host'. See `config.log' for more details
In console.log, it says that gcc -V isn't valid
I'm following this tutorial: http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224
Most likely the folder you are compiling on is mounted with the noexec option.
For security reasons, tmpfs under /tmp is mounted noexec.
Move the entire folder to a mount that can execute programs or remount the place with different options. Background: The configure script needs to perform some basic tests which also involve compiling and running the compiled test program.
