I did a full make buildworld and make buildkernel this past Tuesday and
everything worked great. Just to make sure though, I did a cvsup
yesterday to see if it would fix the problem as well. Still no go.

I've also since found out that trying to install *any* port fails with a
similar error. The key seems to be this part: "configure: error: C
compiler cannot create executables". This machine has cPanel on it, so I
thought maybe the compiler had been turned off in WHM, but playing with
those settings didn't change anything, either.

Any more tips or suggestions? 

TIA,
Jacob
