error using gcc

[Runn3r.cze]

when i try to compile any source codes using

gcc sourcefile.cpp -o compiledfile

i always get this error

cpp: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory

what does it mean?

[rcgreen]

Try installing g++

Indeed. The problem here is that gcc defaults to the C language. You're trying to interpret a C++ program as a C one, which never ends well.

The 'g++' command is still gcc, but it uses C++ as the default language. Alternatively, you could use 'gcc -x c++'.

ok, so i used g++ to compile it, but when i try to run the compiled file, i get an other error... permission denied. but the permissions are 777, so why can't i run it?

Run the command:

ls -l compiledfile

and tell us the output.
