C++ compiler not found

C++ compiler not found

[Brummer, J, Mnr <jbrummer@sun.ac.za>]

Hi

I was able to access the root folder. Make and the gcc C compiler is now recognized by the system, but now it tells me C++ compiler not found:

root]$ ./configure
Checking for source directory ... /home/Wiggert/Desktop/MSc/root
Configuring for linuxx8664gcc
Checking for GNU Make version >= 3.80 ... ok
Checking for C compiler ... gcc
Checking for C++ compiler ... no C++ compiler g++ found
configure: C++ compiler MUST be installed
See http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/build-prerequisites

Any ideas?

Why? You don't need to be root to build software.

You need to create a "build" directory in the GCC source top-level
directory, and run:

  $ ../configure

Install the g++ compiler from your distribution package manager. On
Fedora (for example), you can do:

  $ sudo yum install gcc-c++

Also refer:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html

Actually http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html says "building
where objdir is a subdirectory of srcdir is unsupported."

Anyway the simplest solution is to just install the RPM via yum.
