configure error

I'm at a loss of even where to start looking for a fix to this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

<more stuff up here>
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for c++... g++
checking whether the C++ compiler (g++ ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables.

post the end of the config.log file

Here is the end of my config.log file, hopefully it will provide some insight.

That's where the log ended?

If so then check whether you are out of disk space in any filesystem (filesystem where your are building seq and /tmp).

I ended up upgrading to Mandrake 8.1 and making sure all the packages were added during the upgrade. Getting seq4 going from there was pretty straightforward. Thanks for the help though.

although it works now, i am fairly certain your issue was not using gcc3 or gcc-3.0.1. of course, i could be wrong and maybe you actually renamed your gcc3 (rh) or gcc-3.0.1 (mdk).
