           Summary: missing g++ will lead to bogus configure error message
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: tmbinc at elitedvb.net
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


When running ./configure on a system without g++ installed, a bogus error
message will be displayed:

checking for g++... no
checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.

/lib/cpp does not exist here. Installing g++ fixes the problem. It seems that
g++ should just be made a requirement - if no g++ is installed, "g++ -E" is not
likely to work.
