[SOLVED] Error in 5.5. GCC-4.8.1

eyeeze · 11-23-2013, 08:04 PM

My host system is Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon X86_64.

The configure step for the 1st pass of GCC goes fine, and then I run "make". It runs for a while and then gives me a very strange "C++ compiler missing or inoperational" error. The tail end of the system message is pasted below.

I have checked and have GCC installed. Any thoughts on what I should try or check? Thanks much.

Code:

checking for aclocal... no
checking for autoconf... no
checking for autoheader... no
checking whether gcc supports -W... yes
checking whether gcc supports -Wall... yes
checking whether gcc supports -Wnarrowing... yes

Sorry, forgot to add that I checked and have g++ version 4.7 installed as well.

OK, in the meantime I went into the Synaptic package manager and uninstalled the version of g++ I had installed on my host system. I reinstalled both g++ and g++-4.7 and tried again. I seem to have gotten past this hurdle as I no longer get this error. Kind of strange and I don't understand why this fixed anything. Still, I will mark it solved.

Thanks.
