If that doesnt help you, you could post 'config.log' here. I had such an error once because i had no C++ Compiler installed  |

|
|
The [tt]config.log[/tt] file is big, but the relevant piece I guess is:
| Code: |
configure: failed program was:
| #line 2034 "configure"
| /* confdefs.h. */
|
| #define PACKAGE_NAME ""
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME ""
| #define PACKAGE_VERSION ""
| #define PACKAGE_STRING ""
| #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ""
| #define PACKAGE "avifile0.7"
| #define VERSION "0.7.32"
| /* end confdefs.h. */
|
| int
| main ()
| {
|
| ;
| return 0;
| }
configure:2100: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
|
TIA |

|
| Code: | | #CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" |
and,
| Code: | | CFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3 -pipe" |
is the another variable. |

in general there should be a c++ - compiler on your box unless you unmerged or deleted it. for me the output of is so my c++ compiler is g++ and will be invoked as 'ccache g++'.
for your special problem: there should be a line in your config.log with the command that 'failed' to execute, i.e. '<detected-c++-compiler> -o conftest conftest.C' or something similar. you could try to execute that command manually. while it probably fails, you may get a hint from it where your problem is.
oh and did you actually search the forums as port001 recommended ? |

Try uncommenting that CXXFLAGS line and see what happens. |

| I ran into that error on a system where I'd just done a stage3 install. The stage3 gcc was compiled for i586, but my CHOST was set to i686-pc-linux-gnu, so the compiler wrapper couldn't find the right C++ compiler. Solution: re-emerge gcc, all is good. |
