The packages that you need to compile C++ are v2gnu/gpp2721b.zip (the
programs) and v2gnu/lgp271b.zip (the libraries and headers).  It's all
in 'readme.1st'.  ;)

If you are still having problems, then you should try consulting the
Frequently Asked Questions list (v2/faq202b.zip), section 8.2.  All of
chapter 8 provides invaluable information on the most commonly
experienced compilation problems.

Good luck!
