Hi all, so I just decided to lear Python I wanted to install Python 2.1.1. I got the tarball from sourceforge and tried to install it. This is what happens: fileserver01:~/Python-2.1.1 # ./configure --prefix=/usr creating cache ./config.cache checking MACHDEP... linux2 checking for --without-gcc... no checking for --with-cxx=<compiler>... no checking for c++... no checking for g++... no checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C++ compiler (gcc ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables. fileserver01:~/Python-2.1.1 # The strange thing is that I could compile Python 1.5.2 and 2.0.1 without any problems. I am using SuSE 7.1. Can anyone help me. Are there libraries missing, something like that?
