Build sqlcipher on ubuntu

Hi I'm trying to build sqlcipher on ubuntu (11.10 minimal). On Mac OS X I had no problems though.

I followed the instructions from sqlcipher.net. First step was configure. I tried to execute configure with the following command:

./configure --enable-tempstore=yes CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC" LDFLAGS="-lcrypto"

but I got the following error message: "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"

In the config.log some lines caught my eyes but I don't know how to fix it:

gcc version 4.6.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3) 
configure:2544: $? = 0
configure:2551: gcc -V >&5
gcc: error: unrecognized option '-V'
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
configure:2555: $? = 4
configure:2578: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:2600: gcc -DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC  -lcrypto conftest.c  >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Has anybody successfully build sqlcipher on ubuntu yet? Regards

You will need to install the GNU compiler toolchain in order to build from source. Execute the following command in a terminal.

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
