problem compiling C++

["Lowell Thomas" <lowell@coasttocoastresearch.com>]

Hi All,

I just recently installed Debian 4.0r1. It is my first experience with
Debian or GNU/Linux. I?ve been building and running C programs just fine
with gcc. However, I?m unable to compile C++ programs. The command g++
returns ?program not found? and
gcc main.cpp
returns the error
gcc: error trying to exec ?cclplus?: execvp: No such file or directory

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Lowell Thomas
