C compiler cannot create executables Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

I'm trying to install CUnit lib in my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS computer. I've installed it in a Ubuntu 11.04 without problems, but when I tried to install on 10.04 I got this trace:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

configure: error: in `/home/cpcaserver5/Área de Trabalho/CUnit-2.1-2':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

I have tried a lot of libs and gcc versions, so I think that the problem is in Ubuntu, but where or why, I've no idea!

Relevant part of the log file:

configure:3399: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:3421: gcc  -DRELEASE=@RELEASE@ -Wall -W -pedantic -Wshadow -ansi -I/home/cpcaserver5/Área de Trabalho/CUnit-2.1-2/CUnit/Headers   -L/home/cpcaserver5/Área de Trabalho/CUnit-2.1-2/CUnit/Sources conftest.c  >&5

configure:3425: $? = 1
configure:3463: result: no

I can compile C files just fine.

There's a quoting problem somewhere, and the fact that the directory you installed CUnit to contains spaces (and non-ASCII chars) is messing things up.

While it might be possible to make this work, I strongly suggest you change the installation directory to a path that does not contain any spaces at all, and stick to plain ASCII7 characters (no accents, llama, tilde or otherwise).
You'll run into lots of scripting problems if your paths are "unusual". If you want horizontal spacing, use an underscore (_).

Output from ./configure is notoriously unhelpful, except for one line:

See `config.log' for more details

That's where the real error messages are.
