any idea what could cause this? is it a bug in the g++-2.95 package,
perhaps not setting the library path properly or something?


during the ./configure stage of compiling a new version of galeon, i
get:

...
checking for c++... c++
checking whether the C++ compiler (c++  ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot
create executables.
make: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1


# tail config.log 
configure:1409: checking whether the C++ compiler (c++  ) works
configure:1425: c++ -o conftest    conftest.C  1>&5
cpp: -lang-c++: linker input file unused since linking not done
c++: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1plus': No such file or directory
configure: failed program was:

#line 1420 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

int main(){return(0);}



there's a problem there already but if i set the PATH so that it can
find cc1plus by PATH="$PATH:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/", the
tail of config.log changes to:

# tail config.log 
configure:1409: checking whether the C++ compiler (c++  ) works
configure:1425: c++ -o conftest    conftest.C  1>&5
cpp: -lang-c++: linker input file unused since linking not done
ld: cannot open crtbegin.o: No such file or directory
configure: failed program was:

#line 1420 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

int main(){return(0);}

i have the following gcc & g++ packages installed (these are the latest
versions available in unstable):

# dlocate -l gcc\\\|g++ | grep "^ii"
ii  g++            2.95.3-7       The GNU C++ compiler.
