Re: ./configure error

[Aschwin van der Woude <aschwin van der woude creanor com>]

I had the same problem, you need to check the symlinks under
/etc/alternatives.
The 3.1 rpms don't set those symlinks correctly.

It should be :
  /etc/alternatives/g++ -> /usr/bin/g++-3.1
  /etc/alternatives/lib_cpp -> /usr/bin/cpp-3.1
  /etc/alternatives/cpp -> /usr/bin/cpp-3.1
  /etc/alternatives/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-3.1
  /etc/alternatives/c++ -> /usr/bin/g++-3.1
  /etc/alternatives/gcj -> /usr/bin/gcj-3.1
  /etc/alternatives/g77 -> /usr/bin/g77-3.1
  /etc/alternatives/f77 -> /usr/bin/f77-3.1
  

After checking and changing those symlinks it should just work fine.

-A.
