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

[Tyler Mitchell]

Okay, now I've got my configure and make done and I've copied the mapserv
file into cgi-bin.
But now when I access the executable by running
http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv - I get prompted to download a txt file
which looks strange.
Have I missed some documentation or FAQ somewhere on this.  Please point me
to right place if I have missed this issue in another spot.

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?
