On Suse Linux, I doubt that you need to specify the compiler location, 
so you can just run "../configure" without any arguments.  I'll go on to 
answer your questions, but they are probably irrelevant for you...

Don't substitute anything; use the letters CXX exactly

Put the full path to your C++ compiler instead of /usr/bin/platform_c++, eg

../configure CXX=/usr/bin/gcc PYTHON=/usr/bin/python
