[Libuta-develop] Compile problems on Mandrake 7.1

[Jason O. <ja...@op...>]

Hello all..  Let me preface this with the fact that I am quite new to
Linux so anything I have to say should probably be taken with a block of
salt. :)

My problems first began with running configure I got the following:
...
checking for algorithm... no
checking for string... no
configure: error: obsolete C++ libraries

        Please install an ansi compliant C++ compiler and libraries,
        such as a recent version of gcc (the GNU Compiler Collection).

Apparently the problem of the configure file lies here:

#line 2650 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <$ac_hdr>

$ac_hdr is being set to string instead of string.h

Unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out how to change configure
*properly*.  Instead of making a proper change I added this little hack
which seemed to make it work:

#line 2650 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <string.h>

After changing the above line libUta seemed to run configure quite
happily.  The next problem I ran into was when I tried to do a make.
Here's the part where make seemed to choke:

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..
-I/usr/lib/sigc++/include  -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT
-fno-exceptions   -c color.cc
rm -f .libs/color.lo
c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/lib/sigc++/include -D_REENTRANT
-I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT -fno-exceptions -c  -fPIC -DPIC color.cc
-o .libs/color.lo
In file included from color.cc:21:
color.h:24: iostream.h: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [color.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/forge/libuta-0.3.29/uta'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/forge/libuta-0.3.29'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

If anyone could help me with this I'd really appreciate it!
