[Aspell-user] Installation Problem with Aspell 0.50 + C++ compiler cannot create executables

[Sharma Tatapudi]

Hi,

 

I am trying to install Aspell 0.50 on RedHat 8

 

When I run ./configure, I get the following error:

Checking for C++ compiler default output… configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables

 

I have checked that my environment variable CXX is set to gcc

 

At command prompt, when I type in gcc –version, it says gcc 3.2-7

 

What am I missing here?

 

Other information from the config.log:
