configure finding "nonfunctional" c++ compiler

[Brook Milligan <brook%nmsu.edu@localhost>]

I'm trying to build some packages in an HPC environment and am regularly running into the error

	configure: error: C++ compiler missing or inspirational

I think this is because configure finds /usr/bin/c++ (based upon the links in work/.gcc/bin), which is an OS supplied compiler, in this case gcc 4.4.7, not ones installed by the module system, which are the ones expected to be used.  I guess this is because configure checks all the "normal" places, but has no knowledge of the module specific directories.

What can be done so that pkgsrc will work correctly in this situation?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Brook
