Howdy Mary!

I'll look at your other message in a second but here's a quick answer: using
--disable-cxx (or setting CXX to '' before running configure) will cause the
C++ API and all its tests to be skipped. You want to do this if you are
debugging a fortran problem, or it you don't care about C++.

The configure script will still try and learn about your C++ compiler. This is
a quirk of autoconf, which doesn't like me to make the checks for compilers
conditional on user choices. So (as the configure output says) the C++ compiler
will be checked, but not used if you use --disable-cxx (or set CXX to null -
the effects are the same).

Thanks,

Ed
