[Zope] Python 2.1.1 won't compile

[Jan Lentfer]

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?

Many thanks in advance,

Jan
