Problems compiling

configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables.

My memory of the last couple of egcs/glibc installs is that the
/lib/cpp symlink is not updated, and root had better have umask 022 or
permissions don't get set right. Even with umask 022,
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/... has an include directory owned by whoever did the
compiling, and permissions also unchanged.

And I do remember getting that strange message, but I'm not at all
sure if it was caused by the mis-behaving install.

(I sent email to the maintainers, but they alleged it was my fault,
and it hasn't been fixed in the year since then.)

Hi,

Part II (translation) : You need C++ compiler installed on you Linux box.

See your log :

checking for c++... no
checking for g++... no

This is the reason.

Regard,

Does this mean you cannot compile PG 6.4.2 without a C++ compiler or just
that if you don't have a C++ compiler, you need to change your config flags
appropriately and lose some of the functionality?

Stuart.

Any ideas? I cannot figure it out. Please help, this is for a senior
project I am working on and I cannot graduate if I dont get it done!:)

./configure --without-CXX

This disables C++ completely, so you couldn't use libpq++.

Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

Hi stuart,

It means that (as I know) you don't need C++ compiler to compile and run
PostgreSQL
on your machine. But you will not be able to link C++ application with
PostgreSQL.
Why? This is because you will not have Libpq++ compiled. Ok, I promise you to
be
more efficient next time :-)))

Regards
