Help, I can't compile C++ (18)

1 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2009-01-19 00:23 ID:e9qfmV/0

I have a linux computer with gcc. I can compile C programs, but when I try to compile C++ programs, I get the following error message:

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

I don't understand what this error message means, or how to fix it. Any anon who could help me?

Install your C++ compiler correctly.

reinstall ubuntu

4 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2009-01-22 06:25 ID:EtqgNRKN

Install a distro that sucks less. Like Arch Linux or Gentoo.

Good luck!

gcc can compile both, c and c++

Not if the C++ compiler backend isn't installed.

Google may be your friend in this situation.

"gcc can compile both"... by calling g++ when you screw up and pass it a C++ file. Same as gpc, g77, and so on.

Install g++.

Wrong. gcc is the gnu C compiler, which is a C compiler
You must have been thinking of GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection.

gcc ⊂ GCC

Your compiler is not properly installed.

on your Ubuntu machine, type
sudo apt-get install build-essential

that will install everything you need for basic development, including compiling your C++ code.

As >>4 said, install a distro that sucks less and as several others said gcc uses g++ internally so check whether your compiler is installed properly.
