Hi folks,
I'm trying to install some software (kivio, actually) from source. I'm
running Linux Mandrake 7.1, and I do have a fairly recent gcc
(gcc-2.96-0.33mdk to be exact) installed by rpm.
In doing the configure, I get the following error:
...
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E
checking for a C++-Compiler...
checking for g++... no
checking for CC... no
checking for xlC... no
checking for DCC... no
configure: error: no acceptable C++-compiler found in $PATH
So I'm confused. It's my understanding that gcc does indeed compile C++ code.
So why does this configure say it doesn't?
(I've run into this problem before, so I don't think it's a kivio install
problem.)

PS btw, the reason I am installing this from source instead of RPM is that
for some reason the RPM doesn't work, and I figured compiling from source
would be easier than troubleshooting the RPM. (I'm not much of an RPM fan
myself, I'd rather either use tarballs or use apt-get, I don't think rpm's
buy you much.)
