Have you verified that a C++ compiler and library is really installed
and functional? Have you successfully compiled any other C++ code? If not,
you might want to try compiling a small test program. If you are not
familiar with C++, the following test might be helpful.

Create a file named cpptest.cpp with the following code.

#include <iostream>

int main(int, char* []) {
      std::cout << "Success" << std::endl;

      return 0;
}

Save the file and then execute the following command.

g++ -Wall cpptest.cpp -o cpptest

If you make it that far, execute the following.

./cpptest

You should see the word 'Success' output by the program.

If you can't make it this far, then something is missing or fundamentally
broken with respect to your environment or compiler install.
