OK.  Trying to build libtiff here.  Info from

http://www.asteriskguru.com/tutorials/spandsp.html

Libtiff from tar:

ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff   3.8.2

put tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz in /root then tar -zxvf tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz

followed by:

./configure
make clean
make

But the make had the following error:

./libtool: line 837: g++: command not found
make[2]: *** [tif_stream.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/libtiff'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/libtiff'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

and make install did not work:

So what is missing?  And where do I start from.

It looks like things are not 'broken' from how far it got.
