Shawn,

Thanks for the email.  Based on your suggestion I did try (as root):

   # yum install gcc-g++

and got back

   Reading repository metadata in from local files
   Parsing package install arguments
   No Match for argument: gcc-c++
   Nothing to do

As you probably figured out, I'm not very experienced in the Linux System 
Admin "thing".  I'm wonder if Red Hat doesn't provide C++ for the "Desktop" 
version of RHEL 5 bedause they want you to upgrade to a more expensive 
version like RHEL 5 Workstation.
