Error When Compiling C++ File In GCC

Question

I'm using Linux Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex and using as compiler the gcc, but when I try to compile a C++ project file, the compiler give me this error:

ubuntu@ubuntu-laptop:~/C++$ gcc ClientFile.cpp
gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory

What is wrong?

Answer 1

Do you have the build suite installed?

sudo apt-get --reinstall install build-essential

and compile C++ code with g++ command, not gcc.

Answer 2

Well, your gcc install is damaged, looks like.
