gcc not working

[Tom Wilson]

Hi all,

I'm trying to run ./configure to get the install process rolling on a 
program and I get this error.

checking whether the C++ compiler (gcc  ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler 
cannot create executables.

When I check the config.log file in the source directory it has:

configure:1042: checking for gcc
configure:1074: checking whether the C++ compiler (gcc  ) works
configure:1090: gcc -o conftest    conftest.C  1>&5
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1plus': No such file or 
directory
configure: failed program was:

#line 1085 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

int main(){return(0);}


Anybody know what is going on with this shove me in the right direction 
to solve it?  

Thanks.
