Now that Gus showed me what to look for, it is installed.  Perhaps the author

'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++".

yum whatprovides g++
<install package(s) based on output>
