Hi, Ron.  I'm not familiar with Corel Linux, so I don't have an automatic
answer.  It's possible that you might have a version of gcc installed that
can only compile C code and that a separate package needs to be installed
to get "c++" or "g++".  Are you able to compile other C++ code on your
system using gcc?

From the above output, I see that you also don't have the Linux kernel
source code installed, or at least the configure script can't find it.
