I am new to linux, just installed fedora7 with single CD and yum-
installed gcc4.xxx.

gcc works on "hello world" in C but not C++:-

[rasjid@localhost test]$ gcc -x c++ test.cpp
gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory

A search for cc1plus in my file systems failed to locate cc1plus(gcc
in /usr/bin)

Thanks
Rasjid

I believe that the C++ has been given it's own package, so that each one
can decide which languages they want to have supported on their box.

I suggest you try to install cpp (should be named the same in RedHat too)

yum install cpp

Yes , I 'yum install cpp', etc and now ok.

BTW, Linux is great! I have just installed CodeBlocks IDE for C++
development
and everything's fine - and free, Linux, gcc, ide, editors.
