gcc and g++

Hi, I just got a Powerbook so I'm a complete newbie on Mac world. I was Linux/Ubuntu i386 user before.

The problem I have now is that I'm running a framework called ROOT for data analysis (it also have a very usefull bunch of C++ classes). Everything goes right until I try try to compile any program. Of course, I did have gcc, g++, or make installed. So, after googling I found Fink and I did:

apt-get install gcc4
apt-get install make
but I couldn't make apt-get install g++ (that I can make with my linux dist.)

but gcc command doesn't appear yet....

I also get an strange messege from apt-get saying:

/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/cc1plus is not executable!

I don't know what that means, but what I know is that I can't compile anything yet, since each time I write gcc the bash tells me that the command doesn't exists. Of course, the same hapends to g++. The only thing working from all this is make.... but without g++ is completly useless.

How can I install gcc and g++ ?????????

Ok, hope you can help me. Thanks.

use chmod on the file that isn't executable.

It seems that you didn't understand the question... sorry, I may explained myself wrong.

Let's say, I open a terminal and I write:

d-h-145:~ fede$ gcc
-bash: gcc: command not found

d-h-145:~ fede$ g++
-bash: g++: command not found

So, of course, the same happens when I try to compile my macros with make, since it just run g++ commands.

How do I install gcc and g++ in mac???

Thanks, fede.

OOHH, I found the solution by searching on another section. It seems that Xcode is needed to be able to develope under Mac. It is easy to download from the Mac site, under developers section. There is just a free registration needed.

Thanks anyhow.
