[rhn-users] gc++ package for RH Enterprise 5 Desktop

Thanks for all your replies.

I got the following back from Red Hat support:

Which probably explains why yum can't find it.  I assume that yum is 
pointing to the "official" repository location that Red Hat has set up for 
RHEL 5 "Desktop", which doesn't include gcc-c++.
