gcc problem

[dcomit]

I'm trying do do a compilation on Fedora 2.6.8-1.521 on an i686 using gcc but I'm getting an error:

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

I've never used gcc on this box before. Can anyone explain the error - do I need to compile gcc before I can use it?

Thanks,
Dave

Have you checked that your $PATH includes the location of cc1plus (if indeed the file is on the box at all)?

Can't find the file on my box. Is it associated with gcc?

 

[KenCunningham]

I think it is, certainly it's there on my Solaris boxes. I think I'd try a reinstall.

I don't think you have installed the C++ portion of GCC.

Try :

yum install gcc-c++

I tried the yum install but I still have the same problem. I'll have to put it on the back burner for now as something more pressing has come up.

Many thanks for the help and advice.
