Yes - comes with FC2, but may not be installed, depending on the
installation options you chose (i.e. development).

[prs at radar0 prs]$ which g++
/usr/bin/g++
[prs at radar0 prs]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/g++
gcc-c++-3.3.3-7

So, if it were not already installed, and assuming I had already
configured /etc/yum.conf to point to a nearby mirror rather than the
redhat site, I'd do...

[prs at radar0 prs]$ su -
Password: xxxxxxxx
[root at radar0 root]# yum install gcc-c++
...

Can also use up2date, apt, (again configure for your favorite mirrors)
or straight download/"rpm -ivh <package>".
