OK.

First, it would be best to not mix use of the Sun C and GNU C++ (g++)
compilers.  We have not tried this here, and we know of no site that
has tried this on their own.

In general, it would be better to _attempt_ to mix use of the vendor
F90 compiler coupled with both GNU gcc and g++ as Fortran is more
decoupled from gcc/g++ than c89 is from g++.

This says that your g++ application does not work.  Clues as to
why this would be the case can be found in the config.log file.

>Any help from you are very appreciated.

If you do get the c89/f90/g++ combination to work, please let us know
so that we can at least point to your experiment as successful.
