No functional C++ compiler... installing Ardour 2 beta 9

Installation & Configuration Linux
#1

Hi, I run scons and get the following message :

This system has no functional C++ compiler. You cannot build Ardour from source without one.

I installed g++ 4.1 and dev files with synaptic though.

Thanks

#2

Which distro is this? Can you post the config.log file resulting from running “scons” somewhere? It can get pretty long, so preferably off this list. Maybe a pastebin site like http://rafb.net/paste if you don’t have a site to upload it to.

I use Kubuntu 6.10 and here is the config.log file created after running Scons :

Thanks for your help sampo

Well, I solved the compiler problem by installing “g++”. I had g++ 4.1 installed but it did not seem to be sufficient.

Thanks for the help

On debian based systems (like Ubuntu), it’s a good idea to install a metapackage (=a pre-determined collection of packages) called “build-essential”. That package will install the most essential build tools.

Ok thanks! Will do that!
