There is a chance for a hit if you throw a stone into the fog.

I'm surprised. You should know the usual way to approach this. Main rule for computers is garbage in = garbage out. Linux is silent if everthing is fine and should be verbose in case of an error. This error report should give a pointer to what's going on. Your re-installation is based on guesses instead of facts.

If you could tell which software you want to compile and what the output of make is some of us may be capable to pick up the trail.

Calm down. ;) If you really like Mint you shouldn't give up easily. If the live CD does boot but fails with an internet connection there should be some information in /var/log/ or dmesg.
