gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: - VMWare on F7 -

ggarron | July 13, 2007 - 3 years 2 weeks  in

Installing VMWare server on my new F7, and after running these commands,

yum install libx11-6 libx11-dev libxtst6 xinetd wget

yum install kernel-devel

yum install binutils-doc make manpages-dev autoconf automake1.9 libtool flex bison gdb libc6-dev-amd64 lib64gcc1 gcc-2.95-doc

yum install gcc

I got this error:

gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [/tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only/common/task.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.21-1.3228.fc7-i686'
make: *** [vmmon.ko] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only'
Unable to build the vmmon module.

which was finally solved installing gcc++ with the following command,

yum install gcc-c++

do not forget to apply the vmware-any-any patch.

Thanks Stig, the package g++-4.1 solves the similar problem that I gotted in my vmware-server installation ... but I didn't find the gcc-c++ packet on Debian.
