[mapserver-users] Running ./configure bails on me

[Tyler Mitchell]

Thanks for the question Stephen, as simple as it appeared, I did NOT have
it installed!
I guess, to date, I've been fortunate to only be using C code as far as I
can tell.
I installed the gcc-c++ rpm for Linux and it ./configured just fine so far.
Thanks again.

Tyler

Do you have g++ installed?

Hi guys,
I've been compiling lots of programs without any problems lately, but once
I tried to run ./configure from the latest download of ms_3.4.tar - it
tells me the following and gives up on me :(
----------------------------
loading cache ./config.cache
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'm not that adept at Linux permissions, but am getting there.  It wouldn't
be related to the permissions/ownership that came with the tarball would
it?
