Install g++ when having gcc (C only) -- RH6

Question

I have a RHEL 6 machine, which came with gcc but without g++. The gcc version is 4.4.4 20100726 (this is what I got from gcc --version).

How can I get g++ working? Currently, the shell just returns "command not found".

Solution

You need to install the gcc-c++ package: yum install gcc-c++

It's called gcc-c++ in RedHat.

Thank you - but I'm getting "No package gcc-c++ available". What can be the reason?

Post the results of rpm -qa | grep gcc

@iamsid rpm -qa | grep gc for me gives only these packages: libgcc-4.4.5-6.el6.x86_64, gcc-4.4.5-6.el6.x86_64

@ArtemAO If your server is not registered on rhn yum will not work.. You'd have to install the version on your cd.
