g++ Problems

Darwinist · 03-20-2006, 08:12 PM

I've run into a reoccurring problem when installing a couple of programs from source. I received the error message 'g++: command not found' when running 'MAKE'. I've read that gcc versions 2.8 and higher has g++ installed by default, however I'm using gcc version 3.2.3, and it's apparently not. How can I install g++?

Thanks for any help.

ahhh a fellow richmonder -- not sure i ever seen one here before

i'm not sure but redhat has a habit of dividing packages up into lots of little mini packages. No one knows really why. there is most likely a package like gcc-c++ or something odd like that.

I would use RPM to query the gcc package list and check $PATH value

Installing the gcc-c++ rpm did the trick. Thanks!
