You need to install the g++ or gcc-c++ package....the names can vary.

Please describe what you are trying to do. The "gcc" command requires a filename.

If you are compiling something that you downloaded, it would be more common to compile it with the "make" command.

You should do what Xian said you should,so open your package manager,search for gcc,then install everything related to gcc-c++ or gcc-cpp or similar.

In short: what distro?

And please, don't use SMSish on the boards.

you need g++ to compile c++ programs, usually
