Nope. I think we are just re-describing the very problem that RS is struggling with. The configure file expects "whatprovides" that are named different to the names my system "provides" yum whatprovides g++ """ Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading "skip-broken" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile No Matches found """ rpm -qa gcc* """ gcc-gfortran-4.1.2-27.fc7 gcc-java-4.1.2-27.fc7 gcc-c++-4.1.2-27.fc7 gcc-4.1.2-27.fc7 """ rpm -q --provides 'gcc-c++' """ gcc-c++ = 4.1.2-27.fc7 """ You see, nothing I have provides g++.
