 The configure script expects that the CXX variable supplied by the
 Makefile points to the g++ executable of the version 3.3 or later.
 GCC is recognized if the executable name ends with g++, c++,
 g++-VERSION, or c++-VERSION.  If it is not an absolute path, it should
 be accessible via PATH.
 
 Do you probably have some unusual naming scheme or installation
 location?  At any rate, the release submitted earlier was succefully
 built by your colleagues.  The only thing I've changed since the last
 submission is the MD5 checksum of a patch file.
 
 Another reason for the failure can be that the package has not been
 tested with FreeBSD 4.x at all, only with 5.3.  It requires perl >=
 5.6.1, which seems to be missing in the 4.x
