gcc: error trying to exec ‘cc1plus’: execvp: No such file or directory
While I was installing some software on a client machine I got the following error:
gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
Even though this doesn’t matter so much (as it can happen in other cases also) the software that I was trying to install was the perl module Encode::Detect.
If you have a problem like this one (even if you are trying to compile a different software) you might want to doublecheck and see if you have g++ installed on the system. In my case a simple since the system was running Debian all I had to do was:
aptitude install g++
and this solved my issue and the compilation finished successfully.

Miroslav: search the ubuntu forums as you will find many references on how to install software directly from the internet from the ubuntu repositories.

I ran into this problem on Debian with vmware-server on 2.6.23.
I already had g++ installed, however it appears that the kernel was compiled with gcc-4.1 (cat /proc/version) and module-assistant found correct version of gcc, however it failed to make sure that g++-4.1 is also installed.
Your hint helped to solve it.
Thanks!

Your repo’s are defined under: /etc/yum.repos.d/*
The format of the repo file is self explanatory; Btw. your problem is not related to this post and you should be much better addressing these kind of questions on the fedora forums where you should get a response much faster then I can respond myself.
Cheers,
