[XFree86] error while compiling xfree86 4.4.0

[James Thogmartin]

After about an hour or so of installing xfree86 4.4.0, I get an error that says:   c++ -c   -I../nurbtess  -I../../libutil         -I../../include         -I../../../../include   -I../../../../include/GL -I../../../.. -I../../../../exports/include  -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE  -D_GNU_SOURCE    -D_EXTENSIONS_ -DLIBRARYBUILD -DNDEBUG  -O2 -fno-strength-reduce   arc.cc -o unshared/arc.o /bin/sh: c++: command not found make[5]: *** [arc.o] Error 127 make[5]: Leaving directory `/root/xc/lib/GLU/libnurbs/internals' make[4]: *** [libnurbs/internals] Error 2 make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/xc/lib/GLU' make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/xc/lib' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/xc' make[1]: *** [World] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/xc' make: *** [World] Error 2 cryptic-networks:~/xc#   I am running debian 3.0, with the 2.2.20 kernel, and after doing a search for ‘c++’ I found that I don’t have it. However, when I looked for it using apt-get, c++ brought up thousands of results.. does anyone know what debian package I need to get in order for c++ to work? I heard it’s a compiler, and that cpp will do the same thing, (and I have cpp) so I tried making an alias for cpp by doing ‘alias c++=’cpp’ ‘ but that didn’t work, because after I ran make World, I got the same exact error.   I would rather compile the source for xfree86, because I am running it on a dell latitude c610, and I think it’d be easier to get it to work if it were compiled on the same system it’s going to be run on.   Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks,   James   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Computers are like air conditioners.
