Hi,
     I have a frsh install on 
Mandrake 7.2 Linux which includes gcc2.95........ I can view manpages with 'man 
gcc' but not 'man g++'.  I am trying to write c++ code.  When I try to 
compile using g++, the system doesn't know wha the hell g++ is.  If I try 
to compile using the command 'gcc -c foo.cc' etc. the damn thing says, "gcc 
installation problem: cannot exec cc1plus".  I downloaded a new rmp for 
gcc2.96 and also had to get a ccp rpm (cpp2.96.69) and I still have the same 
problems.  Does anyone know any quick soluions or what I need to do to get 
g++ and gcc running correctly?  I am using th packagemanager to run the 
installs and I do noting out of the ordinary meaning its supposedly putting 
everything where its supposed to go.
Thanks for any help you might provide,
   Troy Harris

Looks like you have installed the core components of the compiler, but
not the C++ front-end.  Look for a package named gcc-c++, g++ or
however Mandrake names the GCC C++ front-end package; that's the one
you're missing.  You'll probably need the libstdc++-devel package too.
