hi,

i am trying to build VDK on a SUSE-9.0 box. i get the
following error code:

[...]

checking whether the C++ compiler (c++ ) is a
cross-compiler... no

configure: error: Your compiler is not powerful enough
to compile VDK. If it should be, see config.log for
more information of why it failed.

and in "config.log":
