    Try setting the environment variable `CXX' to `"gcc -O3"' (If you
    are using `gcc').  For example `CXX="gcc -O3" ./configure'. If you use
    this you don't nead to have libg++ installed!

    configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler

    	If'n I take that out of configure.in, I get a lot further.  The
    problem, though, is that it's treating the lack of a C++ compiler as a
    fatal condition.  I just took out the check and set HAVE_Cplusplus=false
    and got to src/pl/plpgsql/src/ which needed -I. and I got it built.
    
    // 	Please report any compile errors to pgsql-hackers ... it has

    	I don't remember what my NetBSD problem was yet, but I'll try to
    play with it later.
