  • Installing g++

    Posted on

    I just installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 7.5 (Maipo) on a virtual machine and would like to install g++ 4.8.5. I understand I need to install the "Development Tools" group, but no such group is listed as available (see below).

    Any suggestions?

    uname -r
    3.10.0-862.el7.x86_64

    cat /etc/redhat-release
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 7.5 (Maipo)

    sudo yum group list --setopt=group_package_types=mandatory,default,optional
    Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-
    : manager
