It does not find c++, g++, it finds successfully gcc (I have version 2.72 installed) but it says gcc is unable to make executable files: whats' wrong?? Is there a specific program to compile .cpp files?

c: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1plus': No such file or directory Have you checked for that? I admit that I don't know much about the internals of gcc

This definitely suggests you installed the C compiler but not the C++ compiler. cc1plus.exe is the arch-specific compiler engine which actually handles the preprocessed source. If you don't have this file, you don't have g++. Basically, your configure script looks for a C++ compiler, and then hopes for the best with gcc if that's all it finds. gcc identifies your source as C++ and tries to call the approrpriate component, which is not available. Go ahead and install the GNU C++ compiler from whithin YAST. -josh -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
