g++ command not found

[galapogos]

Hi,

I have Mandriva2008.1 and I have gcc installed but when I try to run g++ it claims that the command is not found. I tried a urpmi g++ and urpmi gcc-g++ but neither package are recognized.

What's up? How do I install g++?

The package is called gcc-c++. Make sure that you setup the main, contrib, plf and updates repos using the instructions at easyurpmi and then use urpmi or rpmdrake to install gcc-c++.

Hi,

Thanks, but being quite a linux noob, I'm not sure what to do with easyurpmi. I've never even heard of it before. A little help...?

You select your version of Mandriva and the repositories you wish to setup. You will then be given commands on how to setup each repository. You need to copy each individual command into a terminal (as root) and run it untill all the repos are setup. Once they are setup, search for the packages you need in rpmdrake or use urpmi to install them.
