Here is the configure log file generated when I tried to perform a configure. It appears to me to be a busted install of gcc, but I want to run it by those more intelligent than me! ;) This was done on a default install of Redhat 7.1 with no upgrades or modifications running gcc 2.96. Any suggestions? Thanks!

What program was this? Also, do you get errors when compiling other software?

The program is called bidwatch for use on Ebay. I downloaded it fron Freshmeat. This is the first program I have tried to compile since I set this system up a few weeks ago.

Well that's odd. I could be wrong, but as I recall, cc1plus is GCCs C++ support. Does the installation you're using perhaps not include C++ support by default? Given what you posted, that seems like the best possibility, although it doesn't really make much sense if it's a default RedHat install.

I agree! I was reading up in google before I posted that and it said something to that effect. However, when I went to the site it said that gcc and g++ was bundled together now and wasn't handled in separate packages anymore. So, by this I assumed that it was installed....maybe not. I'm still at a loss.

Giving this one another bump as I'm still stuck.

Nevmind folks. I can't wait any longer so I'm doing a complete reinstall of gcc and friends. Thanks for your initial help though, I appreciate it.
