Hi all, Trying to install a software package and it seems "the compiler" isn't installed right. I don't really understand what that means, but I am determined to walk away from Microslop so I plug onward following explicit instructions and hoping for the best. Right now I don't know how to work so well in Linux. When I try to do as the README asks for installing the software, I get this response: ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking for ranlib... ranlib checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for c++... no checking for g++... no checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C++ compiler (gcc ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables. I've browsed all over the YaST software list to try to figure out how to "reinstall the compiler" and the manuals too, but don't see anything that describes this process. Any help on this? Thanks in advance! JeepNut __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com

Try under Development/Languages/C and C++ and make sure you have installed gpp. Although g++ is part of gcc, it doesn't get installed automatically with the C compiler.
I suspect the configure file is guessing that gcc is a c++ compiler. I've seen Solaris systems where that is true. While you're there, make sure flex and bison are also installed: you'll need them eventually. JDL
