Today installed CentOs 6.4 fresh new on my workstation.

I wanted to install g++. With my surprise I didn't succeed by using

 yum install gcc-g++

The thing is that even by doing a search I don't get any result.

 # No package available yum search g++

On top of that I installed successfully gcc.

Do you know whether I am using the wrong package name or what should I do?

I was successful with on CentOS 6.4

 yum install gcc-c++.x86_64

I ran into this post because installing node with regular gcc-c++ it will complain;

but to workaround the issue you can install gcc-g++ from Linuxsoft: Software Repository

curl > /etc/yum.repos.d/slc6-scl.repo
rpm --import
yum install -y devtoolset-3
scl enable devtoolset-3 bash

and node will be happy !

One thing I have realized is that many packages give that error because package names are usually different than most tutorials out there on the net.

Normally when I get stuck I just use this command:

yum list | grep <packagename>

This gets a list of all packages like the one we are searching for and it always lists the full name which we should use to install the package.

Also the <packagename> is case-sensitive, geoip and GeoIP will return different list of packages.
