	My hunch would be to try the following:

$export CPP=g++
$export CXX=g++
$export CC=gcc
$./configure

	On most boxes, "c++" is simply a soft link over to "g++". If you
are running RH 5.1, then chances are pretty good that "c++" is actually an
executable version of egcs, not a soft link to g++. Thus, you have to make
things a little more explicit to autoconf and tell it (through environment
variables) what you want it to use for your c++ compiler, mainly, g++, not
egcs.
