Ok - here's how it all begins:
I'm trying to compile a program - so I run ./configure and get the following
results:
[root@unica linux]# ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... missing
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake... missing
checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... missing
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
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 thought this would be fixable by installing a new compiler (or updating, at
least). So I get new packages for gcc (2.95-12 and c++2.95-12 packages of
gcc) and both fail when I try to run an upgrade (rpm -Uvh) of a failed
dependency on /usr/sbin/update-alternatives. If I'm taking the hard route, can
someone bap me upside the head please?
