[nbpp-devel] C++ cannot create executables

[Harry B. <hb...@ke...>]

Trying to install nb++-0.6.0 on Mandrake 8.0 box, getting:

checking whether the C++ compiler (c++ ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot
create executables.

The config.log file shows:
<snip..>
configure:1770: checking whether the C++ compiler (c== ) works
configure:1776: c++ -o conftest   conftest.C  1>&5
./configure: c++: command not found
configure: failed program was:
#line 1771 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

<..snip>

My nb++ directory has a file confdefs.h which contains:

#define PACKAGE "nb++"
#define VERSION "0.6.0"

I have installed all the rpm's I can think of, including kernel headers,
glibc-devel, libstdc..

I'm stuck - can anyone help please?
TIA
