First thing I'd check is to see what you have for header files etc and
devel libs. Run something like:
rpm -qa | grep gcc
<a list of what this returns might help a bit if you could post> ;-)
just to get an idea of the packages you have installed. You may have to
grab some more packages from one of the mirrors in the RPMS dir. Also,
what account are you using to do your compile ... rarely have I seen a
configure fail becasue of user (only make) but it does try to run a test
against the compiler it finds to test the compiler. One last thing
(although I've only ever seen this once before), c++ was actually a link to
gcc or g++ ..... do an ls -l on c++ just to see if its actually a binary or
a link.

Subject: [newbie] Having problems compiling! ;-(
I'm having some real problems anytime I try to compile just darn near
about anything. ;-(
Attached is the error message I get.
Can someone please tell me what I need to add/fix to get my setup
working correctly? I'm using Mandrake v7.1, that I installed from an
isoimage downloaded from their site...
Thanks.
