Post any comments / questions / etc. in here.

I've installed the C compiler using the same steps you outlined in your tutorial (although I did so before you posted the HowTo). However, I tried to compile a C++ program this morning and found that I obviously don't have the correct stuff installed to compile C++. I already used the "make" to compile the install_libdvdcss, so I know that that part of it works. However, when I tried to compile a C++ program (using "gcc 1strdchk.cpp") I got the following error:

gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1plus': No such file or directory

Any idea what else I need to install to get it working? Or did I just botch the original installation somehow?

curt grymala,

I believe you will just need the following additional packages:

• libstdc++-devel
• gcc-c++

I downloaded the rpm as instructed. Tried installing them with yast but I dot see anything happening, after I say accept. Is there anything I am missing during the installation with yast.

Not sure. How about trying from the command line?

First launch Konsole. Then, su to root. Then, type

rpm -Uvh package_name

for each of the packages.

Do this for each of the packages in the order they're listed in the howto.
