Question

I am using ubuntu 12.04. I\'m trying to \"make\" a project.

I get this error:

g++: error trying to exec \'cc1plus\': execvp: No such file or director         


        

Answer 1

you say you already have g++ installed however it was not installed correctly ... revert what you did to install g++ then run this to install the bundle of developer tools

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade 
sudo apt-get install libtool autoconf build-essential pkg-config automake tcsh

which includes g++ and the entire make toolchain of utils
