Re: Compiling nmap on Red Hat

Quite right.  I tried make again and this time I get the same output as
gmake:

[francois@cerberus nmap-6.00]$ make
Compiling liblua
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/francois/Downloads/nmap-6.00/liblua'
make[1]: `liblua.a' is up to date.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/francois/Downloads/nmap-6.00/liblua'
Compiling liblinear
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/francois/Downloads/nmap-6.00/liblinear'
g++  -c -o linear.o linear.cpp
make[1]: g++: Command not found
make[1]: *** [linear.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/francois/Downloads/nmap-6.00/liblinear'
make: *** [liblinear_build] Error 2

This appears to boil down to g++ being missing and me not being able to
figure out how to install it.
