Configure error with newest CVS..

[bleat]

Most recent CVS in to a fresh directory and I got this error. Never had it before, was wondering if it's perhaps due to the CVS.

You need at least GCC G++ 3.0 or greater

Have you tried to follow that hint ?

'gcc --version' tells you what configure tried.
if gcc3 is not your default compiler you should look at the FAQ -> 2.6 How to compile Seq.
There you will find how to tell configure about alternate locations of compiler and Qt.

gcc3 is already default and has been for months.

checking for gcc-3.0... gcc-3.0
checking for g++-3.0... g++-3.0

This says it found what it was looking for, yes?

checking for supported compiler version... no

Means that it did not find a valid gcc/g++

checking alternate compiler for supported compiler version... no

means that it didnt find gcc-3.0/g++-3.0 or newer.

If you are SURE you have gcc3+ installed, you probably need to export it so it can find it:

export CXX=g++3
export CC=gcc3

This says it did NOT find what it was looking for. See suseuser7341's post about the FAQ.

edit: Bah, BA beat me by less than a minute. :P

Fair enough. I haven't changed my compiler versions since that patch long ago that actually required new versions. I reexported. Same compiler I've used for the last serveral months, and for my QT installation. /shrug
