Hi Partha - thanks! that was interesting. I didn't have a clue what 
"g++" might be, but here's what happened when I typed it into a terminal:

$ g++
g++: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.

Which seemed mysterious. So I asked Gentoo to tell me which package this 
"g++" thing was part of:

$ equery belongs g++
 * Searching for g++ ...
sys-devel/gcc-6.4.0-r1 (/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/6.4.0/g++ -> 
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++)

I always thought of "gcc" as the "gnu c compiler". But apparently that's 
no longer the case, instead "gcc" now stands for "gnu compiler 
collection", which includes c++:

Best,
