Compiling with different J values

I compiled audacity with different -j values in the open lab and here are the results. j1 took the least time to compile.

j1
real    6m34.068s
user 5m44.576s
sys    0m37.742s

j2
real    6m34.891s
user 5m44.713s
sys    0m38.189s

j3
real    6m39.111s
user 5m44.737s
sys    0m37.833s

j4
real    6m39.228s
user 5m46.737s
sys    0m38.582s

j5

Building Nled and Audacity

Nled:

Building Nled was pretty straight forward. After downloading the source file from Cdot http://cdot.senecac.on.ca . I extracted the file and ran a make command. There were no dependency problems. I already gcc installed. I was able to use the editor using ./nled

Audacity:

I downloaded the source rpm using yumdownloader. I executed the config file and got a lot of dependencies errors. All the following libraries were needed.
expat-devel, flac-devel, gettext, jack-audio-connection-kit-devel, ladspa-devel, libid3tag-devel, taglib-devel, libogg-devel, libsamplerate-devel, libsndfile-devel, libvorbis-devel, soundtouch-devel, vamp-plugin-sdk-devel >= 2.0, zlib-devel, wxGTK-devel, alsa-lib-devel.

After resolving all the dependencies, i was hoping that I wont get any more errors but this error came up.

configure: error: in `/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/audacity-src-1.3.12-beta':
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity.

I had gcc installed, but not gcc-c++. So after installing the gcc-c++, the compiling worked.
