[KLUG Members] interesting Cups problem.

[Adam Bultman]

Hello everyone.  I've been trying to fix this the past couple of days, and 
I've been googling, and asking the users group list, but I can't find a 
solution to my (and a friend's) problem.  

The issue, I think, is with cups, although I think it might go elesewhere. 
This is on a Gentoo 1.4 rc2 box, on an Athlon XP 1800+.  When I try to 
compile cups ( gcc 3.2 ) I get:

compiling Annot.cxx:  C++ compiling not found on your system

The other people with a similar problem to this haven't had cc1plus on 
their system, whereas I do.  It's kind of annoying, because cups is a 
dependency of a few things I'd like to have installed, and I can't just 
tell it not to use cups.  

I've never had this problem, but a buddy of mine (gentoo on an xp as well) 
has a LOT of the same problems I am having with compiling.  It's out of 
the question that I don't have a c++ compiler, but at the same time, I 
could be missing something.  

On the other hand, I've got the same OS on a Dual PII system, and cups 
compiles *fine*, along with anything else I feel like installing.  Creepy, 
because it used the same install scheme my current install on the xp did.  
So I don't know what's wrong, and I'm thinking it's an athlon + gcc 
problem, or something, for lack of any better answers.


So, at this point, the system is usable (no evolution, no konqueror) but 
there's a few things I'd still like to have on it. 

If you have ANY ideas, I'll hear 'em and test them out.  This is driving 
me batty.

But just FYI, apart from these small items, Gentoo is beautiful.
