  • RHEL V6 and g++ compiler --- WHERE IS IT??

    Posted on

    Hi,

     

    I think I have a couple of issues:

     

    KNOWN ISSUE:  I need a g++ compiler on my RHEL V6. I have the "Various Compilers" pkg gcc-4.4.6.el6.i686 installed but this did not seem to include the g++ (i.e. there is no /usr/bin/g++)

     

    I cannot seem to locate the package where this compiler is contained.

     

    Likely Other Issue:  I don't think I have my YUM glued in correctly.... it doesn't report trying to attach to the RHN to look outside my box to find  stuff if I do say:  "yum search g++"

     

    It looks locally and, of course, doesn't find anything.

     

    When I use the ADD/REMOVE SOFTWARE GUI and search for g++ (with my RHEL V6 DVD in place) it returns nothing found as well ... so I assume that distro DVD doesn't have it either. (I know this works since it HAS FOUND other packages like EMACS, for example, on my DVD.

     

    Can anyone offer advice on hooking in the RHN to my YUM and where I might find a g++ that is .el6.i686 compatible?

     

    Thanks,

    tony
