Hi guys,

my problem is that i have GCC 4.3.3 installed and i cant install any program from SlackBuilds

as soon as the script starts i get this message:

checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables

its either for C or C++.. someone told me install g++ compiler and libstdc++ i googled around and found that libstdc++ is now part of GCC as of GCC 3.0

any suggestions are welcome and thanks in advance.

OS: Slackware 13 x86_64

Do you have all of the D package set installed? You need more than just the gcc package installed to actually compile usable programs.

But have you installed g++?

Also, in your OS installation time, did you selected a full installation or chose the packages? If you chose, did you included the devel tree?

Well, a quick answer would be, with you SlackCD/SlackDVD, in the slackware/d/ just type "installpkg g++*"

im pretty sure i have all "D" packages

ill look into this right now i was googling around for g++ packages
and i didnt knew i could use the dvd for that !

i've installed everything from d/ now and still got the same message

You also have slackpkg, I presume. You could select a mirror from "/etc/slackpkg/mirrors" file synced with a -current tree, and issue a "slackpkg reinstall g++*" on a terminal, but I think that this is not the prefered way.

Uhmmm... could you put the full ./configure output here?

Looking for g++* in package list. Please wait... DONE

No packages match the pattern for reinstall. Try:

/usr/sbin/slackpkg install|upgrade

Errr... sorry, that would be "slackpkg reinstall gcc-g++*".

1 members found this post helpful.

im not sure how to do this im new to slackware.. before that i used ubuntu, fedora, opensuse etc... and they all had package managers and everything was automatic..

I realized that might be the case. That's why I edited my post to link to a more detailed answer.

And yes, it's the correct answer.
