You probbly have forgotten to add the compiler's bin directory to your path variable.

Linux: g++
DJGPP: gxx

kooma:

>>> Linux: g++

Is that generally true on Linux? I was trying to help a guy compile a C++ program on a Mandrake Linux system. He said he used "gcc", should he be using g++?

He could compile straight C but not C++.

@adrianxw:
in most case i would say YES!

g++ is the gnu c++ compiler
gcc is the gnu c compiler

yes, he should try g++ -> the commandline syntax is qyuite the same...
