Error installing g++
 

I was trying to install a software on redhat linux and got the following error message.

DEPDIR=.deps depmode=none /bin/sh ../depcomp \
g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../ -c -o FullPairwiseAlign.o `test -f './pairwise/FullPairwiseAlign.cpp' || echo './'`./pairwise/FullPairwiseAlign.cpp
../depcomp: line 571: exec: g++: not found

I tried "yum install gcc-c++" and got the following error:

No package gcc-c++ available.
Nothing to do

I also tried yum update, but the same results.
Can anyone help me?

Hi, welcome to LQ!

See the difference between the two highlights (in colour) above?
That's your problem.


Cheers,

Actually, I tried both, but it was the same results.

Looking at that list above: is the "gcc" package installed as a whole?

you might want to install the whole tool chain
