Linux Installation Problem

[JediDan]

Trying to install under Mandrake 10. Readline and zlib are already installed. I'm getting the "could not execute a simple test program" error. This is the first problem entry in config.log:

configure: failed program was:
#ifndef __cplusplus
choke me
#endif


Anyone have any ideas? Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Go back to the ./configure output and look for the 'Checking for c++' line. Do you have c++ compiler in your $PATH?

Mandrake 10 should have some binary packages available. Compiling from source is a good thing, but you can probably bypass any aggrevation by using an rpm. Check out the search engine at
