Looks like you have a problem with the c++ compiler
(not installed?). MOL does not use c++ except for 
the Darwin port, but autoconf looks for it regardless. 

If the test is removed, then there is an error saying 
that c++ code was detected. I will see if I can remove
this false dependency from the build system without
having to use multiple configure.in files.

The simplest way out is probably making sure the c++
compiler is installed.
