Compiling error cpp..

[Code_Nerd]

I have just fired up my Linux in the hiolidays to try and get a bit more familiar with it..

Anyway I am trying to compile a simple "Hello World" prog and get this error?

Code: Select all

cpp: installation problem, cannot exec 'cc1plus': No such file or directory

Does anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

BTW I am using FC4..

How exactly are you trying to compile your program?

[jeng]

Sounds like you don't have g++ installed.

I defiantely have it installed, I cannot confirm my PATH is correct however??

I am trying to compile like so:

Code: Select all

cpp -o test test.cpp

Is this correct?

[Safari]

try this

g++ test.cpp -o test

[Code_Nerd]

Got command not found error?

Code: Select all

bash: g++: command not found

I know it is installed, but whether I have it linked correct or whatever is another story?

If I do

Code: Select all

cpp -v

I get the following?

Code: Select all

bump..

Any more ideas?

looks like g++ isn't installed, if you are sure it is try reinstalling it. after that this should work

Code: Select all

g++ test.cpp -o test

edit: after some digging also, cpp is the C Preprocessor, this is probably not what you want for compiling your program.
