The first thing I'd try is to re-run configure with an LDFLAGS prefix 
like this:

LDFLAGS=-lstdc++ ./configure ... ....

If that doesn't work then you'll need to look at config.log which is 
generated when you run configure. Note that if it's large, it makes more 
sense to upload the contents onto a pastebin somewhere and send just the 
link to the list.


HTH,
