2.7. Other problems building libg++

On some platforms (for example, Ultrix), you may see errors complaining about being unable to open dummy.o. On other platforms (for example, SunOS), you may see problems having to do with the type of size_t. The fix for these problems is to make libg++ by saying "make CC=gcc". According to Per Bothner, it should no longer be necessary to specify "CC=gcc" for libg++-2.3.1 or later.

``I built and installed libg++, but g++ can't find it. Help!''

The string given to configure that identifies your system must be the same when you install libg++ as it was when you installed gcc. Also, if you used the --prefix option to install gcc somewhere other than /usr/local, you must use the same value for --prefix when installing libg++, or else g++ will not be able to find g++.
