problem with 7.4.2 for RH-9

Dear Sir:

After complied my postgresql-7.4.2 with the RH-linux9 operation system,

there showed a problem on my configure.log as the file below with bold type word,
.
.
.
configure: failed program was:
#ifndef __cplusplus
choke me
#endif
.
.
.
configure: failed program was:
#line 2642 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
.
.
.

Would u please tell me what kind of the problem with the first one?

And

As checked the mail-list at this web-site, I supposed the second problem is that the path link problme.

Seems the way to solve it is link the path of LD_LIBRARY_PATH , but HOW TO DO IT??

Also checking my /usr/local/pgsql/src/include there are no any file named confdefs.h, how could it work after I set the path??

Thanks for ur kindly help in advance.....

Note: Before my installation there was postgresql-7.3.2 existed, but the file was directly reased directly by manuel (:(````) , all of the file related was be erased but seems the man linking was still exist since I have try to install 7.4.2 by postgresql-7.4.2*.rpm with failure.

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by PostgreSQL configure 7.4.2, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.53. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure
