Thanks,
I see from the config log that there is no c++ compiler installed, I'll try again

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

configure:532: checking for gcc
configure:645: checking whether the C compiler (gcc -mpentiumpro -march=pentiumpro -O2 ) works
configure:661: gcc -o conftest -mpentiumpro -march=pentiumpro -O2   conftest.c  1>&5
configure:687: checking whether the C compiler (gcc -mpentiumpro -march=pentiumpro -O2 ) is a cross-compiler
configure:692: checking whether we are using GNU C
configure:701: gcc -E conftest.c
configure:720: checking whether gcc accepts -g
configure:756: checking for c++
configure:756: checking for g++
configure:756: checking for gcc
configure:788: checking whether the C++ compiler (gcc -mpentiumpro -march=pentiumpro -O2 ) works
configure:804: gcc -o conftest -mpentiumpro -march=pentiumpro -O2   conftest.C  1>&5
gcc: conftest.C: C++ compiler not installed on this system
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `#C++collect2': No such file or directory
configure: failed program was:

#line 799 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

int main(){return(0);}
