Installation failure under SuSE 6.4
Hi,
Trying to install lyx 1.1.5 under SuSE 6.4 (with C++ installed) I am having
./configure fail with the message "Unable to find a working C++ compiler"
What changes do I need to make so that lyx can find crtbegin.o, cc1plus etc.
The relevant bit of config.log is below.
thanks,
Morgan
