DOn't ask me to explain this, I am not that smart. But here is what I have found out. I was trying to configure mysql using gcc as the C compiler and C++ compiler. Configure kept failing when it got to checking gcc as the C++ compiler. When I checked the config.log it failed trying to excecute /usr/local/gcc. /usr/local/gcc was my directory where I unpacked the gcc tar files. When I renamed the directory to gnu_gcc then my configure worked using gcc for both C and C++. Why would configure find the gcc executable in /usr/local/bin for the C compiler but not for the C++ compiler? Confused as always. But at least now I am confused on a higher level!
