gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus'...

[fiveryanfrenzy]

How do I compile C++ files?

I made one (.cpp) and put it in my home folder and then...


rcalderoni@gabriel:~$ gcc
gcc: no input files
rcalderoni@gabriel:~$ gcc test.cpp
gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
rcalderoni@gabriel:~$

how do i get this to work?

gcc is the C compiler.
g++ is the C++ compiler.

To compile C++ programs:

$ g++ <c++ source file>

[Silentvoice]

and also you'll probably want to use the -o argument..

g++ test.cpp -o test.o

this makes it so you don't get a.out on every single compilation (because gcc doesn't care if a.out already exists, it will replace it every time)

I m facing the same problem with GCC & G++.

gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
g++: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory

I tried to install Visual C#.net, but doesn't work. It gives

Runtime Error!
R6034


I tried to install other windows application, it works fine.
This problem occurs only when installing application requires Ms .Net framework.

Please suggest me, how to install MS .NET on UBUNTU Linux.

No it won't!!! The package to install is build-essential, which is a meta package with dependencies on all the packages needed to build. For example, installing g++ alone will not install the C++ standard library, which will only lead to confusion and problems.

[danielmoita]

Had the same problem and:
sudo apt-get install g++
worked fine for me.

[piccilli]

gcc and g++ needs to be the same version.

take a look with "gcc --version" and "g++ --version"

[chaumurky]

I'm surprised it's not included in build-essential - I find myself needing it quite often.

[Brazman]

Thank you. That did solve my problem. My fault was similiar to the one above with output error:
gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
did sudo apt-get install g++ and my problem was corrected. To compile the file I did:
g++ -o hello.o hello.cpp
Maybe this will be of help.
thanks again.

Isnt gcc supposed to invoke the right compiler for you if you pass it a .cpp, from the file sufix?

[kefei_chen]

hey, i think u cann reload the spm and then try to install gcc and g++
cheers

Isnt gcc supposed to invoke the right compiler for you if you pass it a .cpp, from the file sufix?Yes and no. I noticed that it does attempt to compile C++ applications but by default it doesn't link certain libraries. For example, when using math functions you need to specify -lm yourself.

People please note that this is a very old thread!

Many Thanks Whitney. Its working perfect now...

Yup, that worked for me too. I had forgotten about that, used to be part of my basic install ritual.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
g++: Depends: g++-4.0 (>= 4.0.3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

any solution?

What do you really want to do?

Are you trying to execute a Windows program on Linux? If yes, then try Wine http://www.winehq.org/

If you want to develop .NET applications on Linux, then try Mono http://www.mono-project.com (http://www.mono-project.com/)

Try 'Synaptic Package Manager'
System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager

Hi!
I try to compile:

g++ test.cpp -o test.o

but my on terminal appears:

g++: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
I had just installed build-essential and g++and g++ and gcc is the same version....
What can I do?

best regards
Simone

[Zugzwang]

What can I do?


As a start, please copy&paste the (complete) result of running "gcc -v" here, so we can have a look.

[donbis88]

Using built-in specs.
Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../src/configure -v --with-pkgversion='Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5' --with-bugurl=file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.4/README.Bugs --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++ --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-multiarch --enable-linker-build-id --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.4 --program-suffix=-4.4 --enable-nls --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-plugin --enable-objc-gc --disable-werror --with-arch-32=i486 --with-tune=generic --enable-checking=release --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix

thanks for your help!

[Zugzwang]

Ok, so check that the file "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4/cc1plus" exists and is executable.

[donbis88]

I haven't this directory:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4

[Zugzwang]

I haven't this directory:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4

Use synaptic and check which g++ package is installed. Also double-check that "build-essential" is really installed - installation might have failed in the first place and you didn't notice the error message.

[donbis88]

Also in synaptic, g++ and "build-essential" are installed.

[Zugzwang]

Also in synaptic, g++ and "build-essential" are installed.

There are multiple packages whose name start with "g++" Check that "g++-4.4" is installed an try reinstalling it. Watch out for error messages.

[cem_sanal]

I tried all above(reinstalling g++ and gcc, sudo apt-get build essential) and g++ and gcc are exactly the same version but, it says:
''g++: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory'' (I'm using Qdevelop) so, I can't build the project. Could you help?

[TrophyNinjaShrub]

I *think* you want to add a -c option (just compile, don't link), so: g++ -c hello.cpp -o hello.o. If what you want is a complete executable, ready-to-run, then .o is a very non-standard extension (it's usually used to name object files, which can then be linked together into an executable). In the latter case,
g++ hello.cpp -o hello
or if you like to keep binaries in a directory clearly indicating that (like I do)
mkdir ~/bin
g++ hello.cpp -o ~/bin/hello


Thank you. That did solve my problem. My fault was similiar to the one above with output error:
gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
did sudo apt-get install g++ and my problem was corrected. To compile the file I did:
g++ -o hello.o hello.cpp
Maybe this will be of help.
