need path to g++

[klein de usa]

hi
i have installed Netbeans and it is looking for the directory g++ is in, i found the directory for gcc but i can't find where directory g++ is. i'm sure it is some where because i can run g++ first.cpp -o test in a terminal and it will compile i just can't find g++ folder,

Maybe you haven't installed it?

Open a terminal window and type the command "g++". (Do I have to mention not to actually type the quotes?) What happens?

Type "which g++". If it is installed, it will return the directory where it is installed. If not, sudo apt-get install g++.

That makes absolutely zero sense.

Perhaps your 'find' syntax was incorrect? Something like the following should work:

sudo find /usr -iname 'g++'

although 'find' is not necessarily the best tool for this particular job...

sudo apt-get install build-essential

locate g++

No need for over-complicated gyrations. Just open a terminal window and type:

g++
