KStars intall
Hello,
I'm running KDE 3.3 on SuSE 9.1 Personal. I have tried to download and install Kstars from the KDE-Apps.org site. During ./configure I get the following error -
configure: error: Your Installation isn't able to compile simple C++ programs.
Check config.log for details - if you're using a Linux distribution you might miss a package named similiar to libstd++-dev.
I have installed the libstdc++-3.3.3-41.i586.rpm from the ftp.gwdg.de site but I still get the error and cannot install Kstars. Any ideas on what might be going wrong?

SuSE Personal doesn't come packaged with a compiler.
You'll need to install gcc. In Yast, go to Software -> Change Source of Installation and add a new ftp source. Put ftp.suse.com in the host, and /pub/suse/i386/9.1/suse/i586/ as the directory. When you finish that, ensure that it is Enabled.
Then go to Install/Remove software and do a search for gcc. Select the gcc packages and let Yast install them.
Alternatively, you can just go to ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.1/suse/i586/ via your browser and download the packages individually.
Sorry Scribbler - I should have said I have already downloaded gcc (and make, and glibc) as I neeed them for other packages I have downloaded and installed.

As the kstars error message indicated:
a package named similiar to libstd++-dev
You may be missing the devel package for libstdc++. Perhaps something like:
libstdc++-devel-3.3.3-41-*.rpm
Install it (if you have not) and do let us know if it worked... Best wishes
I've already done that and it has no effect - still get the same error. Could it be that the configure is looking in the wrong place for the c++ ?

Just to be sure:
You have installed
both the libstdc++-* and the libstdc++-devel-* package?
BTW: Did you take a look at the end of config.log for the details the error message talked about?
Yes, both are installed.
Forgive my lack of experience, where do I find the config.log?

AFAIK it should be in the directory you called the configure script in.
It contains info on what the configure script is actually checking for.
I'd suggest looking at the end of the file and search backwards for the string "failed". This will hopefully take you to the failed check.
I decided to go down a different route - updated my KDE through YaST and installed all the KDEedu. KStars was included and works fine.
Ah well.

gcc-c++-3.3.3-41.i586.rpm <-- Maybe this was missed ...
