Now that Gus showed me what to look for, it is installed. Perhaps the
author took it for granted that every system should have it already?
'yum list all | grep g++' gave me nothing as did 'rpm --whatprovides g++'.
I don't understand why these things aren't smarter about all this.
configure.log shows that it continually tries to use 'g++', so why isn't
it easier to get 'g++'? I would think that 'yum install g++' would come
back with "Oh, you probably want gcc-c++ which contains g++". I guess
they all assume that newbies won't be doing any of this stuff or if they
do that they need to learn the traditional ways of doing things. Oh
well. (rant stops) (I realize that this wish would come at a high cost
for programmers.) (me sighs)
