cannot run C++ compiled programs

cannot run C++ compiled programs

[chao lin]

Hi, I get this when I am trying to install programs:#
./configure
checking for a BSD compatible install... ./install-sh
-c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for mawk... no
checking for gawk... no
checking for nawk... nawk
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific
portions of Makefiles... no
checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8
checking for g++... g++
checking for C++ compiler default output... a.out
checking whether the C++ compiler works... configure:
error: cannot run C++ compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.

thanks!
chao lin

The most common reason for this problem is that g++ implicitly links
in libstdc++.  If libstdc++ is a shared library that is not in the
default search path of the run-time linker, you have to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH for this library to be found.
