"not able to compile simple C++ programs" error


I've got following problem. I try to './configure" newest version of Kopete and I get this:

checking if C++ programs can be compiled... no
configure: error: Your Installation isn't able to compile simple C++ programs.
Check config.log for details - if you're using a Linux distribution you might miss
a package named similar to libstdc++-dev.

I checked whether I have 'libstdc++-dev' packages and I've got:
libstdc++5-3.3.4-1mdk
libstdc++6-3.4.1-3mdk
libstdc++6-devel-3.4.1-3mdk

morover I checked whether I've got gcc packages and I've got:
gcc2.96-cpp-2.96-0.83mdk
gcc-3.4.1-3mdk
gcc-cpp-3.4.1-3mdk

but after running configure I get message:

checking for g++... no
checking for c++... no

What's going on?. How to install g++ or c++ if I don't have it installed?.

Here is full text printed after I've run ./configure:

Seems like you don't have the gnu c++ compiler (g++) and corresponding developement libraries installed, just the c compiler (gcc). This isn't really a programming issue, it's a software issue. Use whatever tool/package manager you use for your distro to install new packages/programs and install g++. If you haven't upgraded gcc since installing I suggest installing the version on your installation discs so you reduce the chance of getting into dependeny hell.
