Hi Craig,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried ./configure --disable-cpp and it still came up with:
C++ compiler .................... : g++

I don't mind installing g++ but I wanted to let you know what happened when I
tried with ./configure --disable-cpp as any results I get may be useful to you.

Are there any other workarounds that don't involve installing g++ that you cant
think of?



I've just had a quick peek at the configure script and noticed this:

if test "${enable_cpp+set}" = set; then
enableval=$enable_cpp;
else
enable_cpp=yes
fi


The line after the test seems odd, setting enableval to $enable_cpp ??

I don't know shell scripting to this level of detail, so I may have mis-read
what's going on. If this is a mistake, then it's in many places in the script,
where other options are set this way round.

What do you make of this?

Thanks,

Richard
