[SOLVED] Dependency Help!

Hello ppl
I'm trying to install a program on Fedora 12. I am not so good with linux yet.
Anyways so as I enter the command in the source directory of this program. The following is generated:

[root@189066 verlihub-0.9.8e-r2]# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk

checking for C++ compiler default output file name...
configure: error: in `/root/verlihub-0.9.8e-r2':
configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

Can someone please tell me how to install the missing stuff? via rpms or download sources and compile? I would really appreciate the help.

Ok I have resolved the issue mentioned above.
But new problem after a few lines:

checking for zlib.h... no
configure: error: Zlib header (zlib.h) not found. Tor requires zlib to build. You may need to install a zlib development package.

now what?

I figured the issure above as well. Needed zlib-devel package.

Now the only problem is that after I do configure it asks me to install GeoIP and I download the source for that and finished ./configure but when I try to do "make".
-bash-4.1# cd GeoIP-1.4.6
-bash-4.1# make
-bash: make: command not found
!?

You can get all the basic development tools necessary for compiling software, including make, as so

su -
yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

Noticed you're looking to build tor. It's preferable to use binaries already built for your distribution. The Tor project provides pre-built packages for Fedora.
