Fix cc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus' on openSUSE Leap

Tue, 29 Aug 2023 23:07:48 +1000

It’s currently almost 23:15, and I’m already sleepy. Therefore, this is going to be a short note on how I fixed an minor but annoying issue nvim-treesiter (Neovim’s plugin) on openSUSE Leap (15.5).

The error message is or was as below:

nvim-treesitter[yaml]: Error during compilation
cc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
Press ENTER or type command to continue

I don’t code in C++ nowadays, but the error looks like the C or C++ compiler was missing. But first, let’s show the version of openSUSE running on this instance, I mean VM:

FreeBSD 10: Shared object 'libstdc++.so.6' not found

Today while I was updating py27-m2crypto package on FreeBSD 10 using portmaster, the following error message was displayed:

Shared object "libstdc++.so.6" not found, required by "swig"

Fortunately, someone else has found the problem and solution before me. According this blog post, FreeBSD 10 includes a new C++ stack and gcc, including libstdc++, is not installed by default.

Therefore, to fix the missing this libstdc++.so.6 issue, we need to install lang/gcc.

If you use portmaster, the command to install lang/gcc is:
