C++ compiler on Redhat Linux

[Lokesh Bhog <lokeshbhog@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I have Redhat linux 6.x installed. This Redhat linux
did not have c++ compiler installed at the
installation time.
So I tried to install package egcs-c++, It gave me
dependencies problem and i had to install the
following 5 packages:

egcs-c++
egcs
cpp
kernel-headers
glibc-devel 

after installing these five pacages i have got g++
compiler working.
1) Am i correct in installing the C++ compiler? 
2) Is there some rpm i have missed that is needed for
C++ on Linux?
3) Does anyone know what is the use of all these rpms
in C++ programming?

Lokesh
