How do I install g++ on RHEL6?

Question

This question seems to have been asked here already. My IT department installed the OS so I don't know how to register it properly but I do have root access. Is there a way to get the same packages using the CentOS repositories maybe? I'd also like to install IceWM but without a compiler I can't even build it myself.

Solution

You should be able to just do yum install gcc-c++ if the repos are set up. Give that a try first (you can see what repos are installed with yum repolist).
